Am I in a 10% group that doesn't know what an ASTERNAUT is? I see that word on a lot of postings under the name of the person doing the posting but this seems t0 be an inside group's word because it looks like 'astronaut' but obviously was meant to be something else.

Could it be a combination of asterisk and astronaut?
