    If you got here with ROTATOR, that's on the right track but not yet really the answer.
    • MMe constructor · 2023-03-09T02:50:46.184Z
      I was going for ORBITER, which, I admit, is a stretch.

        All right I'll bite, what did you have in mind?
        • MMe constructor · 2023-03-10T02:02:22.244Z
          Just that oribiting is a kind of rotation. The prompt says something found in space, and orbiters are spacecraft (or other things that orbit in space). So, ORBITER. OTOH, people are used to a special meaning of "rotation" in geometry -- rotation around a central axis of the object itself, so orbiting doesn't seem to come readily to mind here.

        I'm happy I got here at all, hahaha.
        • Abide 1:23 · 2023-03-10T03:19:46.058Z
          Planets rotate. So run with that! 😜

          Interesting concept.
          • Darth 5:17 · 2023-03-09T05:05:10.718Z
            Yep, I'm here on ROTATOR
            • KayW 25s · 2023-03-09T19:50:21.083Z
              Wowza. Yup I ROTATOR-ed on in... hmmm. Now to see if I can come up with something more better. Congrats on a remarkable first meta!!
              • woozy 10:20 · 2023-03-10T16:32:34.670Z
                If you spell ROTA ROTA that contains the word TAROT and the Celestial Chariot is a card of the Major Arcana. So in my head-cannon that's the answer.
                • MMe constructor · 2023-03-10T22:02:10.700Z
                  :)

                  Whew! Cryptics are not my strong suit. Thanks for the nudges. It was worth the effort.

                    After the Tuesday Zoom, I came back to see if I could solve. Thanks to Mme for the nudges on the forum. Years of cryptics helped. A bit.
