A fixed star (from the Latin stellae fixae) is any celestial object that does not seem to move in relation to the other stars of the night sky. Hence, a fixed star is any star except for the Sun. A nebula or other star-like object may also be called a fixed star. | A fixed star (from the Latin stellae fixae) is any celestial object that does not seem to move in relation to the other stars of the night sky.
