Heavenly body is remote, I do fancy (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

meteoroid

'heavenly body' is the definition.
(meteoroid is a kind of heavenly body)

'remote i do fancy' is the wordplay.
'fancy' indicates anagramming the letters.
'remote'+'i'+'do'='remoteido'
'remoteido' anagrammed gives 'METEOROID'.

'is' acts as a link.

(Another definition for meteoroid that I've seen is " heavenly body".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
