A domed building or structure, often used for sports or exhibitions, that evokes the appearance of a celestial dome or represents humanity's interest in space and astronomy.
From 'astro-' (relating to stars) + 'dome' (a rounded roof). The term was popularized in the mid-20th century, particularly by the Houston Astrodome built in 1965, which became an iconic example of space-age architecture.
