Subject: "the stars also"

Bible Note: "the stars also" It's almost as if Moses were tagging on a footnote, or saying, "Oh yea, He made the stars too." We place much significance on the vastness of the universe, and here Moses treats it almost as an afterthought. The heavens are impressive, but here Moses seems to be saying, "earth is center stage; the stars are only stage props in comparison." The earth may not be the center of the univers, but it's central in God's focus of attention.
