space rock
Asteroid or meteorite
Space rock is rock music characterized by extended, atmospheric instrumentals, heavy reverb, and psychedelic textures that evoke cosmic vastness or interstellar travel.
Bands like Hawkwind and Pink Floyd pioneered the genre.
Separately, a space rock is a meteorite or asteroid—a chunk of rock hurtling through space: The crater was formed by a space rock millions of years ago.
