Relating to, resembling, or containing asteria; having star-like qualities or structures.
From 'asteria' plus the adjective suffix '-al,' creating an adjective that describes something as pertaining to or having the characteristics of star-marked stones or star-shaped structures.
While scientific words ending in '-al' sound very formal, they're actually just English's way of turning nouns into adjectives—'asteria' becomes 'asterial' the same way 'music' becomes 'musical,' making these fancy-sounding terms actually quite logical.
