Added DiffLines:
* SuspiciouslyPrescientPlanning: The seller said he'd take fifty cents off the price if someone buys it in the next fifty seconds. Soon after the Magic School Bus gang complete their purchase, though, the Red Giant blows up. The class deduces that the seller must have sold the star to them extra cheap because he knew it would explode soon and later calls in to the show to confront him over this (among other things).

* MeaningfulName: Horace Scope's name being derived from "Horoscope" is a two-fer. Horoscopes are based on the relative positions of stars in the sky, alluding to his job of selling stars; But the legitimacy of horoscopes at predicting anything is dubious at best, fitting Horace's business being an HonestJohnsDealership.

* BeyondTheImpossible: Even in-universe, it's acknowledged that even for a Magic School Bus that can manipulate time locally, millions of years is a bit much, to put it lightly, and yet it somehow manages to manufacture a star from the remains of the Red Giant they'd just bought.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Horace Scope may be an Honest John specializing in stars, but he backs off of trying to sell a new star when the Frizz kids give him a lesson on how new stars are formed--and inform him that that one had been formed from the star they had just bought.
