An example of an analogy used in popular science writing:
"It is clear from the description of the neutrino that it is just the right agent to remove the surplus energy form the interior of a contracting star, since the entire body of the star is just as transparent for neutrinos as a windowpane is for ordinary light."
George Gamow (1961) One, Two, Three…Infinity. Facts and speculations of science, Revised Edition, Dover Publications, Inc., New York.
