Planets

The now faint gold planets were printed in a gold-flake ink, in fake Latin text.

 

Careful research before Michelle made the shirt revealed that the text is stock text in QuarkXPress, typically used to verify that text fills the page layout nicely without requiring that the text mean anything.

 

The other common text used for that purpose begins "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet," and has been in use as a typography test text since the 1500's as documented at www.lipsum.com.
