In Western scientific tradition the stellar sphere was considered to be immutable and constant. New and temporary stars (classified by modern astronomers as novae, supernovae and other types of variable stars) were commonly interpreted as comets or similar phenomena generated in the Earth's upper atmosphere by the interaction of the spheres of fire and air.

The word stellar means relating to a star so a stellar sphere would be our sun or other stars. Stars are objects that shine from the own light due to the fussion of hydrogen into helium at their cores.
