in reply to (moving) APOD • • •To me this image shows a humble shepherd who has climbed to the peak of a mountain and pierced the firmament that bounds the dome of the sky over our earthly realm. (Note that the Sun and Moon are part of this realm.) Now he is getting his mind blown by the wonders of the celestial realms beyond ordinary knowledge.
He's probably going to go found a cult.
