The elliptical picture in the top left of the preview is the image generated by the Planck mission showing the cosmic microwave background when the universe was 370,000 years old.

About Atlantis:

Atlantis is a fictional island world from Ancient Greek mythology, initially popularized by the philosopher Plato who compiled modern ethics and ideals into his revised stories of Atlantis.  It is said that Atlantis may have existed somewhere in the center of the Atlantic ocean, or it may refer to real islands that exist today.

EDIT Feb 28, 2017

An alternate Atlantis map can be found below.  The grayscale can be rendered in SC4, or loaded into SC4 Mapper.  The map below may be considered to be more specific to the story, or at least to the popular versions of it.  Its a flat map made up of concentric circles divided into sections.
