estreliña

Estreliña is a term derived from Spanish, literally translating to "little star." It is most commonly used to refer to a small, bright star or a star of diminutive size. In astronomical contexts, while not a formal scientific designation, it can be used informally to describe a faint or particularly small celestial body. The term carries a connotation of endearment or a sense of wonder, often employed in poetry, song lyrics, or casual conversation to evoke imagery of the night sky. It can also be used metaphorically to describe something or someone that shines brightly or stands out, akin to a small but noticeable point of light. The use of "estreliña" is more prevalent in Spanish-speaking cultures and literature, reflecting a cultural appreciation for the celestial.
