| Morphological Notes | Noun, neuter, dative plural (Gr,N,,,,,DNP); from lemma ἄστρον. |
| Rendering Rationale | The dative plural form ἄστροις denotes indirect object or relational function, here rendered as "to the stars" to preserve the plural number and dative case. "Stars" reflects the core meaning of celestial bodies from the root ἀστρ-. |
