It’s All In the Punctuation!

Misplacing your punctuation sometimes changes the meaning entirely.  This effect is illustrated in the figure,  where both of the girls are pointing up at the sky,  the essence of astronomy without telescopes.  The words are exactly the same,  only the hyphen moves!  These cases are “naked-eye astronomy”,  and “naked eye-astronomy”.  However,  one of these cases promises to be rather more fun than the other.  I’ll give you one guess as to which.
