The Hillary Clinton New York Times Magazine cover meme, often referred to as 'Planet Hillary,' stems from the publication's January 2014 cover art. Designed by artist Jesse Lenz, the image depicts Clinton’s face as a textured, cratered planetary body floating in a dark cosmos. Upon its release, the cover immediately went viral for its uncanny valley appearance and surreal aesthetic, with many comparing it to the 'Man in the Moon' or science fiction tropes. In internet culture, the template is used to satirize Clinton’s perceived political omnipresence or to create 'orb-posting' style jokes. It remains a classic example of a high-profile media design choice that unintentionally fueled years of online parody and meme culture.
