Image of “globey” character from the pee-wee herman show. The character looks like a blue globe, but has a face. The longitude and latitude lines are absent where his face is, forming a kind of ceasar-banged hairline
An image depicting how the sun causes a greater bend in spactime than the much-less-massive earth: The image is covered by a two dimensional, horizontal grid. In the center of the grid is our Sun. However, because the Sun is so massive, it causes a bend in spacetime, and so we see the grid lines sag downward underneath the Sun. We also see the Earth. It is much smaller and so only causes a small curve in the grid lines around it.

This is a boilerplate meme form: Rapper Drake is seen cringing in the upper image, and agreeably smiling in the lower image. Next to the upper image is the text “The earth is flat!”. Next to the lower image it says “The universe is flat!”
paperback book cover of Ralph Milne Farley's "The Radio Planet". There is a humanoid alien in the foreground holding a bow and arrow. He's pointong of toward the distance where we see a bizarre landscape of tall mushroom-like trees, and a distant flying-dinosaur-type creature.
Image taken from Wikipedia’s entry on “Spacetime” it shows a flate square plane and from the center a cone extends upward (the future light cone) and also there’s a cone just opposite from the center point going downward (the past light cone).
Image taken from the wikipedia entry for “Flatness problem”. Three objects are in the image. A black sphere is above a black saddle shaped object which is above a flat black rectangle.
