Kotlin Coroutine Confidence: Placeholder message does not appear (pg 41)

Pg 41 states “Run the code, and you’ll see the placeholder message in a small window, just like last time.” for the code astronomy/v4/src/main/kotlin/com/example/astronomy/AstronomyApplication.kt. However when I run this, I get the a blank JFrame. The “Loading your image…” JLabel does not show.

This is in the B3 version of the book with the example code downloaded on 2025-04-19 at 14:42 EDT.
