Definition
Plural of astro, often referring to the Houston Astros baseball team. Can also mean astronomers or celestial bodies in informal contexts.
Etymology
From Greek 'astron' meaning star. In the context of the baseball team, chosen in 1965 to reflect Houston's role in the space program and NASA's presence in the city.
Kelly Says
The Houston Astros were originally called the Colt .45s but changed their name when they moved to the revolutionary Astrodome in 1965, the world's first domed stadium. The team name perfectly captured the space-age optimism of 1960s Houston during the height of the Apollo program.
