Sagittarius
is always a great word to know.
So is meteor. Does it mean:
| a transient fiery streak in the sky produced by a meteoroid passing through the earth's atmosphere also called a shooting star or bolide |
| any of the small bodies, often remnants of comets, traveling through space: when such a body enters the earth's atmosphere it is heated to luminosity and becomes a meteor |
