For those homeschooling their kids:

Hyperbole is when you use language to exaggerate what you mean or emphasize a point. It’s often used to make something sound much bigger and better than it actually is or to make something sound much more dramatic. Hyperbole is a figure of speech.For example: “There’s enough food in the cupboard to feed an entire army!”
In this example, the speaker doesn’t literally mean that there’s enough food in the cupboard to feed the hundreds of people in the army. Instead, the speaker is using hyperbole to exaggerate the amount of food that they have.
Are the chains unbreakable? That's hyperbole. But their function - being used to haul stars - isn't hyperbole.
