Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Earthstar

👉 "Earthstar" is a term used in astronomy to refer to an object orbiting the Earth, often because it is so close to the planet that its gravitational pull is strong enough to cause the Earth's atmosphere to bulge and become visible as a faint crescent moon. However, this term is not widely recognized or understood by the general public, and it may be used in a loose sense without any specific context.
