Peaceful relatives of the Meteor Heads, these large chunks of rock generally just go where the wind takes them. And if that just so happens to be into the ground, well, it's hardly their fault.

— Bestiary (Orbiting Meteor)

The Orbiting Meteor is a pre-Hardmode enemy which spawns in Space on the outer 3rds of the world.

If pushed outside of space, the Meteor will begin to fall. Once hitting the ground, it will explode and leave a meteorite (Only after the Eater of Worlds or Brain of Cthulhu is defeated.)

Notes

• Each ore drop will only occur in worlds which contain that ore, or the Drunk world
• The Pumpinator, Flameblaster, and Storm Cloak are extremely good at pushing the Orbiting Meteor out of space, as they can move entities in any direction.

Trivia

• Orbiting Meteors were originally not supposed to have a Bestiary Entry, however due to the programmer not knowing how to disable bestiary entries for an enemy, it was given one anyways.
