👉 "Nightspots" is a term used in astronomy and space exploration to refer to the visible stars that appear as small, bright spots or lights on the surface of planets. These spots are often named after their location within the planet's atmosphere, such as Mercury's "nightspot," which is located near the planet's equator. The term is also sometimes used to describe other celestial objects like moons and asteroids that have been observed to appear as small, bright points in the night sky.
