An example of metapor in writing about science:
"No stellar parallax is visible to the naked eye in Copernicus' geokinetic astronomy because the starry sphere is no longer adjacent to Saturn's, but is enormously remote. Gone forever was Ptolemy's cosmic jewel box, with its shining stars some 20,000 earth-radii away from us."
