[edit] Page move
I'm moving this page from "Ex Astris Scientia" to "Ex astris, scientia" since if I recall correctly, that's the way the phrase actually appears (and it would be logical from a grammatical standpoint, too). — Knowledge Seeker দ 08:32, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
- I can't remember how it appears but it's a Latin quote and there were no commas in Latin... the page name was grammatically correct until the move - JVG 02:13, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
- I've just checked on StarTrek.com and the pic shows the comma though so the page could happily stay here... - JVG 02:21, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Ex astra, Scientia
ex astra, scientia could not mean stars from knowledge. Even with the loosest syntax of poetry ex is one of the few words bound to the words it describes. It must always appear before the word it describes. Its just a typo and would look appropriate like this: Knowledge [is] from the starz.
