Prompt

A circular timeline on black cardstock, drawn with opaque white ink pens and neon accents. The prompt condenses the 13.8 billion year history of the universe into a single calendar year. The circle is divided into months and days. The Big Bang is at the top. Hand-drawn icons represent key events (formation of stars, rise of dinosaurs, human civilization). The neon accents highlight how little time humans have occupied. The aesthetic is like a vinyl record label or a mystic's wheel, blending hard science with a cyclical, almost spiritual design. The stark black and white contrast makes the data stand out sharply.
