Garums?

We left our froggy friends under their ocean arguing about space travel--an then it hit me. If their ocean surface is frozen over at night, how was it possible for them to ever see the stars to get the inkling that they wanted to travel to them? Is our whole train of thought on lifting their massive breathable water supply moot? Have they never seen a star, and therefor never gotten the urge to explore them?

Since we have the sun, and the gas giant parent planet both illuminating our exomoon, night time comes rarely. When it does, we'd decided that the night is long enough for the seas to freeze over. But would it happen quickly enough for our froggies to not be able to spot stars?

What about a night being preceded by a total eclipse of the sun? The sun is still close enough to keep the seas unfrozen, but it was dark enough, long enough for froggy to poke his head up close enough to the surface to spot pinpoints of light in the sky. Would they have also looked at the eclipse and thusly gone blind? Most likely. So then they had to go on their memory about the lights, and explaining to their froggy friends about them--would the lights have become a myth?

Let's skip the math involved with the cycle of rotation around the parent planet, and around the star. We're not going to get in to the day/night cycle that much. We're more interested in how the froggies dealt with this story of lights in the sky other than the star, the mother planet, its other moon, and . . . what? What else would be seen in the sky through the water? Not much. We'd already decided that nothing else lived in the exomoon's surface due to the high winds. So perhaps water funnels and hurricanes?

Meh. They went up to harvest a certain krill like animal that lived close to the surface right when the eclipse happened. The group spotted the stars, and then wonder of wonders, the eclipse--alas, in looking at it, they all went blind. But since there was a fairly large group all agreeing on the stars being spotted before blindness set in, it could not be dismissed outright.

But some stated that the blindness was retribution of the gods for their audacity of seeing the lights in the sky. Perhaps the myth was that the lights were the gods, who struck the harvesters blind for looking upon them?
