👉 Scutched is a term used in astronomy to describe a point of light that has been partially or completely deflected by an object. It is often used when discussing stars, as it describes how light from a star can be bent or distorted due to the presence of another object.
In more general terms, scutched points can also refer to any point where light is deflected or refracted in space, such as on Earth's surface or in an optical system.
