An example of the use of metaphor and analogy in science writing:
"…it is thought that Enceladus is heated by friction generated by the constant movement of its solid core produced by the fluctuating gravitational field of its massive parent planet, much as a squash ball becomes warm in the hand with repeated squeezing. By chance, this vigorous massage has raised temperatures to levels conducive to the emergence of life."
