The sky with stars is in the centre (carried by containers or towers) while the Earth is outside in the far upper right corner.The idea that the * represent stars on the rosettes folio is common. However the * appear in different parts of the page such as the bottom left and bottom right rosette as well as in the top centre, bottom centre and centre left rosettes. Do they really represent stars in all locations where the appear? If the top right rosette represents earth then why are there stars on earth? If the * don't represent stars in these other parts of the page, why assume that they represent stars in the central rosette? And so why assume we have the sky with stars in the centre? I am inclined to the view that the * don't really represent anything on the rosettes folio and are just an artistic detail with no precise meaning or interpretation.
