Distant meteor, rocky (6)

I believe the answer is:

remote

'distant' is the definition.
(I know that distant can be written as remote)

'meteor rocky' is the wordplay.
'rocky' indicates an anagram (letters rocked or thrown around).
'meteor' with letters rearranged gives 'REMOTE'.

(Other definitions for remote that I've seen before include "Distant - meteor (anag)" , "Sort of control" , "station selector?" , "Far away in place; slight" , "Far removed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
