Imagine, if you will, a 10th grade English class. 'There were stars in her eyes.'
No, of course it was not meant literally; as if--stars really are these ginormous...wait. Oh, I see, it's just another silly English expression.
Meanwhile, some students are left to reconcile the dim light of stars with the Sun and why the pinpoint light of stars fits the literary need to be thus entranced. I suppose having a thousand points of light is more entrancing than the Sun. To be entranced means what now?
What the Moon means, we can leave for another post. In any of those cases, folks of all ages may be left behind in a world unknowable to anyone other than themself; the scientific educational enterprise seeks to provide knowledge and awareness (and jobs)--but how do to it?
We don't know. But then, what was the question for which STEM was the answer?
