Space traveller satisfied with detour avoiding odd places (6)
I believe the answer is:
meteor
'space traveller' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'satisfied with detour avoiding odd places' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'satisfied' could be 'met' (as in 'met the conditions of his contract') and 'met' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for meteor that I've seen before include "Remote sort of heavenly body" , "Component of shower" , "Remote type of heavenly body" , "it appears as a streak of light" , "streaker?" .)
