The map on the inside covers is of the entire universe recorded by a radio telescope, showing the oldest light in the universe. It is a 2D microwave cosmic background map. The numbers on the cover are the galactic coordinates of earth, placing earth in the sky: galactic longitude and latitude, the distance from earth to the center of the milky way galaxy in light years (ly) and the numeric age of earth now, + 200 years. This is what the earth could be in 200 years - landscapes where nothing is alive.
