Sweet. Looks like a red "hat" (circumflex) over that tree.

The SAR and the Milky Way:

Genesis 32:28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince (sar) hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.

"In Germany the modern Milch Strasse is the translation of our best-known title; while it has long been, and popularly is even now, Jakobs Strasse and Jakobs Weg, Jacob’s Road; as the Belt of Orion is his Staff lying alongside the road. And it has been still further associated with that patriarch as his Ladder."

the Belt of Orion is his Staff lying alongside the road...

Which is another funny thing about MIB, of Orion's Belt being "just these three stars", because in Norse mythology they represented Frigg's spinning wheel, distaff.

Spinning all the clouds (stars) in the galaxy.

As an adjective, the term distaff is used to describe the female side of a family. The corresponding term for the male side of a family is the "spear" side.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distaff

I think it's worth mentioning because of how it all weaves together, with Rachel "the mother of all Israel" buried alongside the road.
