Oooh, pretty picture.

Ya follow? Amazingly hot star, so hot we can't conceive of it, and we can't SEE it because it's surrounded by ICE formations. That bright stuff there is hailstones formed around particles of dust.

The only way I can deal with these things is to think of them abstractly. I feel that I understand the idea, and it makes sense. However, if I try to connect this with the picture and grasp this as something that exists in the tangible real world, my brain overloads and I can only think: "Oooh, pretty picture."
I wonder what church-going Medieval Europeans would have thought of this picture.
