    I think this is the first time these have helped me.

    I first heard the word firmament in a Rammstein song and when I translated it it was the same in English so I looked it up the only definition I could find was just “the sky”.

      I thought it was some ancient nonsense about it being the veil that all the stars were attached to. Regardless it’s a pretty archaic word.

      Yeah in the context of the song it more so refers to the sky above the horizon (the part which seemingly curves around the earth). Thinking about that I guess that is also what the picture is talking about

      I guess it’s more commonly used in other languages than English. I’d think it’s the same in most Latin-based languages.
