The color scheme is supposed to evoke a mid-20th century comic, and the big rocket is inspired Méliès "A Trip to the Moon."

“Dispersion Dinner”
While eating Easter dinner, sunlight shone through a window and through a glass ornament. When sunlight traveled through this ornament, which acted like a prism, the above image was formed on a plate. The end result is several rainbows being created on my dinner plate through the process of dispersion. How were these rainbows created? White light is a mixture of all of the colors of the rainbow. When light travels from one material to another, each color bends at a different angle. The physics concept that explains why each color, or wavelength, bends differently is called refraction. Each color travels at different speed in the medium. Red colors travel the fastest whereas purple colors travel the slowest in the glass. The faster light is traveling through a medium, the lesser it bends when traveling through that material. This means that red bends the least whereas purple bends the most. This is what produces the rainbows seen above.
