In the aerospace context, the term "star" can refer to a celestial object that is a fixed point of light in the night sky which is visible from the Earth.
These objects are typically very far away and are often used as reference points for navigation. Stars are also sometimes used as targets for spacecraft to fly to or to study from a distance. In this context, the term "star" can also refer to the brightest objects in the sky, such as the Sun.
