Asteroid Icon
asteroid · Astronomy · 6 styles
Asteroid is one of the glyphs Solar Icons ships inside its Astronomy set. It is one of 32 glyphs in that category and one of 1,246 icons in the library overall, each drawn on the same 24x24 grid so Asteroid lines up optically with everything around it. The icon is addressed in templates by the string "asteroid", and every style variant resolves from that single name.
Read literally, the shape signals the idea of space, planets, stars and celestial phenomena. That places Asteroid in the Astronomy family, which covers space, planets, stars and celestial phenomena and turns up in dark-mode toggles, onboarding illustrations, empty states and rating widgets. Teams building products that lean on a night-sky metaphor for themes and favourites reach for this set first. Use Asteroid where the label alone would be ambiguous — an icon-only button, a dense table row, a mobile tab bar — and keep an accessible name on the control, because the SVG itself is decorative.
Asteroid in 6 styles
Asteroid has been redrawn for 6 style variants: Bold, Bold Duotone, Linear, Outline, Broken and Line Duotone. Bold gives you solid filled shapes that hold their weight at 16px and read clearly against coloured backgrounds. Bold Duotone gives you a filled body with a second, lower-opacity layer that adds depth without a second colour token. Linear gives you even 1.5px strokes, the neutral default for dense interfaces and toolbars. A common pairing is Bold for the selected state and Line Duotone for the rest, so the active item reads without a colour change.

You register only the variants you actually render, so nothing unused reaches the bundle. Import AsteroidBold from the "@rchernando/solar-icons/astronomy" entry point, hand it to provideSolarIcons in your application config or in a route-level providers array, and render it with the solar-icon component. All 6 exports for asteroid live in that same entry point, so switching style is a one-line change.

import { provideSolarIcons } from '@rchernando/solar-icons';
import { AsteroidBold } from '@rchernando/solar-icons/astronomy';

Icons drawn alongside it in Astronomy include Rocket, Star Rings, Black Hole3, Star Astro, Ufo, Planet, Star Fall Minimalistic2 and Atom. They share stroke weight and corner radius with Asteroid, so mixing them in one toolbar stays consistent.
Elsewhere in the library
Elsewhere in the library, Paragraph Spacing, Rewind10seconds Forward, Skip Next, Suitcase Tag, User Hands and Align Vertical Spacing cover neighbouring ideas; the name "asteroid" is 8 characters long and splits into 1 token, which is how the explorer's search matches it.
Asteroid icon FAQ
- How do I use the asteroid icon in Angular?
- Import AsteroidBold from "@rchernando/solar-icons/astronomy", register it with provideSolarIcons(AsteroidBold) and render <solar-icon name="asteroid" iconStyle="bold" />. No HTTP request is made — the SVG is inlined at build time.
- Which styles does Asteroid support?
- 6 of them: Bold, Bold Duotone, Linear, Outline, Broken and Line Duotone. Each is a separate export, so you only ship the ones you import.
- Can I change the size and colour of asteroid?
- Yes. The size input accepts any CSS length and the SVG uses currentColor, so Asteroid inherits the text colour of its container — a Tailwind class such as text-violet-400 is enough.
