Starman
Alien from above
Starman names several cultural works, most notably David Bowie's 1972 song about an extraterrestrial being bringing hope to Earth.
The word combines star and man to suggest a being from space or the stars.
In 2018, Elon Musk launched a Tesla Roadster into orbit with a spacesuit-clad mannequin dubbed "Starman" at the wheel: Starman is still orbiting the sun.
