Orbiting space rock (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

asteroid

(Other definitions for asteroid that I've seen before include "Small celestial body moving around the sun" , "Small celestial body composed of rock and metal" , "Bit of rock that moves around the heavens" , "Bits of rock that move around the heavens" , "way-out rock" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
