The space layer is kind of empty at the moment, aside from the odd floating island that reaches that high. Here's a proposal to help change that.
After you defeat the Golem, there's a chance that asteroids will start appearing in the space layer of the sky. Asteroids spawn in empty space a certain distance away from existing blocks, so they won't spawn in the middle of floating islands or player sky bases. When an asteroid spawns, the message "A shooting star races across the sky!" appears.
Asteroids are balls of rock slightly smaller than the Meteorite biome. They have an outer layer of Moonstone (which can be crafted into Meteorite by an Adamantite/Titanium forge), and an inner core of Luminite. Finally, a source of Luminite that doesn't involve going through all the pillars and Moon Lord again.
There is a caveat, though. Luminite ore will change so that it's even stronger than the Lihzard Blocks in the temple, and now requires one of the Celestial-tier picks to mine. So you still have to beat the Moon Lord at least once in order to craft a pick to mine more Luminite from asteroids. (Perhaps, as an alternative, the asteroids start spawning after Moon Lord is defeated instead)
A new enemy will spawn in the presence of asteroids: Comet Heads, a Hardmode version of the Meteor Heads from the meteorite biome. Comet Heads are stronger and faster than Meteor Heads, and inflict Frostburn on contact.
So, any thoughts or suggestions for this idea? What do you think?
