Looks like a flow coming out of a starry ceiling. Does anyone have a better explanation?
Why would a medieval man draw that? As if something were coming out of the stars
We just need our own experience because the sky that the authors of the VM saw is the same sky that we see, if we move far enough from the city to avoid artificial light.
If the night we look at there is any visible planet, Venus, Jupiter, whatever it is, we will see that there is no flow. They shine but nothing seems to come out of them. That doesn't happen with the stars. They twinkle.
This little observation is to show that the VM is not as weird as it seems. We just have to put ourselves in the shoes of a medieval man.
