Aenema album cover

[ZeroPointEther]

Does anyone know where that comes from ? it has to do with the big bang or something right ?
I saw this Carl Sagan video & when he was describing the big bang something very similar to the Aenema cover appeared for a split second.

Not saying that's what he's doing, just kinda looks like it. Anyway.....anyone know?

My apologies if this has been asked for the 643rd time.....

I've always looked it at as a human portraying the Ouroboros. I'm probably wrong but thats just what I get out of it when I look at it.

Most definitely...especially the modern interpretations by Carl Jung.

But what's with Maynard and his apparent "fascination" with getting up and getting a closer look (while naked)?
