But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever,

This gives a more complete picture while Jupiter (the King planet) passes through that area as it highlights and rules the night.  We see that it is drawing attention (especially as a morning star, still) to the right foot - right above the enemy that Ophiuchus is treading on.

SESAME: CERN helps plant a seed of peace in the Middle East / Jordan
In One Thousand and One Nights, ‘open sesame’ are the magic words that allow Ali Baba to access a hidden treasure of untold riches. In the 1990s this classic tale inspired physicists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva to ask whether the CERN model of science and peace could be replicated in the Middle East. It took years of hard work and complex negotiations to bring the dream to life. The new centre is called SESAME. /  Al Balqa, Jordan
