Inference About Samantha's Friends' Interest

Samantha had always been captivated by the stars. Every night, she would sit by her window with her telescope, exploring the vastness of the sky. One evening, she noticed a particularly bright star which seemed to twinkle more vibrantly than the others. Curious, she decided to research this star. She learned that it was actually a planet, and its brightness was due to its proximity to Earth at that time. Excited by her new finding, she told her friends at school about it. They were initially skeptical but later became intrigued and asked her to teach them more about astronomy.
