#celestial body
- Aerolite — A meteorite composed mostly of silicate mineral substances (stony), sometimes exhibiting small metallic inclusions of iron and nickel. This category of celestial bodies that have fallen onto the Earth's surface is structurally divided into chondrites and achondrites, offering fundamental scientific data regarding the early composition of the solar system.
- Asteroid — A rocky or metallic celestial body, much smaller than a planet, orbiting the Sun, with most clustered in the main belt between Mars and Jupiter; as an adjective, it describes an object, organism, or structure exhibiting a stellar shape or star-like radial symmetry.
- Astral — Relating to the stars, celestial bodies, or the starry vault, concerning the stars or originating from them; in esoteric philosophy and mysticism, it describes a non-physical dimension or a subtle form of energy (astral body, astral plane) that mediates the connection between spirit and gross matter, considered the seat of human emotions and desires.
- Celestial body — A natural and independent celestial body of spherical or quasi-spherical shape (such as a star, planet, natural satellite, asteroid, or comet), visible in the sky during the night or day. In a restricted and poetic sense, the term often refers to the Sun or the Moon, serving as the lexical root for most space science neologisms.
