OK I give in. I just cannot get 11a - small asteroid less than 1000kn diameter etc.
I have m*n*r*l*n*t and Google has no answers that I can get!
Any astronomers out there, please?

minor planet?
It looks like Minor Planet
Is it definately one word? Thinking maybe Minor planet?
It seems that as fast as Crossword and Dictionary Compilers catch up with terminology, it moves on. Pluto is now a Dwarf Planet, and the term minor planet is obsolescent. I think the 1000km criteria was always contentious, which is probably why you couldn't find it. If you're really interested:

Right or wrong, the answer for this puzzle at least is Minor Planet.
