👉 "Intertelluric" in astronomy refers to a region within the solar system where interstellar material (such as gas and dust) meets the planets, asteroids, and other comets. This is one of several regions called "intratelluric" because they are located between the outer layers of the solar system and the innermost regions of our solar system. The term was coined by astronomer Robert Hooke in his work on celestial objects in 1675.
