Solved

Keyboard: arrows to move, Enter to start a word, arrows to extend, Enter again to confirm, Esc to cancel.

Everything the level allows is in play across a lot of ground. Answers can climb, fall back on themselves or sit in a corner reading toward the edge, and the sheer number of letters means a wrong guess costs real time. Plan on a long sitting rather than a break between two tasks.

The theme carries a board this large without repeating itself, since the list spans named planets, sky events, spacecraft and the general words for what surrounds them. Printed and left on a table, it becomes the kind of puzzle a household or a group picks at over several days, which is how most people finish one.

Take one direction at a time across the whole sheet: all rows both ways, then all columns, then the diagonals. Mixing directions on a board this size is how answers get looked at twice and still missed.
