What’s Behind the Curtain?

I was poking around Wikipedia the other day, and stumbled across this colorized image of a woodcutting that was done hundreds of years ago.
I can completely put myself into the shoes of that red-robed guy – pulling up a curtain of stars to peer at the celestial machinery that operates the entire universe. Why do it? Simply out of curiosity. OF COURSE. I love it.

yeah, that’s why we have voyagers trying to take a peek behind the vast curtain…
