The Simpsons regularly stuns fans with its eerie ability to predict the future.
And the show appears to have done it once again with an image of Sir Richard Branson in spaceflight in a 2014 episode going viral this week after the businessman, 70, launched himself towards the stars on Sunday.
The entrepreneur successfully earned his astronaut wings after travelling to the edge of space on board a Virgin Galactic flight, making him the first spaceflight founder to travel to space on his own ship.

Video of the magnate was beamed back to earth at the weekend as he experienced weightlessness and floated around the cabin of the vessel.
The footage was strangely similar to a scene in a 2014 episode of The Simpsons called The War of Art, the 15th episode of the show's 25th series.
In the animated programme, art forger Klaus Ziegler tells Lisa his 'forgeries give pleasure to people all over the world' before people looking at art in various locations are shown.

The iconic TV show has been known to foresee major world events - from Donald Trump's presidency to the discovery of a three-eyed mutant fish to the erection of London skyscraper The Shard.
It has also correctly predicted the winners of World Cup and Super Bowl tournaments and showed Lady Gaga descending from the sky at the Super Bowl before her actual performance at the half time show in 2017 took place.
Businessman Richard flew 53 miles above the surface of the Earth in the VSS Unity craft on Sunday.

Currently it is thought a ticket to the edge of space with Virgin Galactic, replicating Branson's trip will cost about $250,000 (£180,000).
The space tourism pioneer says future vehicles will go faster, higher and longer and he also dreams of building a space station 'hotel' around the moon in the distant future.
He said: 'Whether one day we will build a hotel off the moon, which is something that I've always dreamt of, or whether we'll leave that to my children to do, we'll have to see.
'But that's something which is yet another dream that, if I've got time in my life to do, that would be something I'd love to do one day.'
The latest correct Simpsons prediction comes after social media users were left convinced that The Simpsons predicted Kamala Harris's vice presidency.

The 56-year-old attended the inauguration in a bright purple outfit by American designers Christopher John Rogers and Sergio Hudson, which she accessorized with a custom pearl necklace by Puerto Rican designer Wilfredo Rosado.
The ensemble bore a striking resemblance to one worn by Lisa Simpson in a 2000 episode of the cartoon — in which a grown-up Lisa is President of the United States.
In a 2000 episode called 'Bart to the Future,' the show looks forward to a future in which Lisa is President of the United states.
In a cabinet meeting, she says: 'We inherited quite the budget crunch from President Trump.'
