Interstella

Interstella is a stylistic spelling used to refer to concepts, works, or brands associated with space and interstellar themes. It is not an official scientific designation, and its meaning depends on context. In general, the term evokes travel or phenomena beyond the solar system and is often used in fiction, music, and branding to suggest a cosmic or otherworldly setting.

One notable usage is the 2003 animated music project Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5elves, a collaboration between Daft Punk and Leiji Matsumoto. The project presents a visual narrative set to Daft Punk's Discovery album, and the title uses the stylized form Interstella to reinforce its space-oriented premise.

Beyond this project, interstella appears as a chosen name or motif in various media and commercial contexts to convey a science-fiction aesthetic. The term is typically treated as a proper noun in those uses, rather than a fixed technical term.

Relation to standard terminology: The conventional astronomical term is interstellar, used to describe regions or travel between stars in scientific contexts. Interstella functions mainly as a cultural or branding variant, leveraging the cosmic connotations of the root words.
