Am I currently occupying space that previously may have been occupied by an asteroid? Another planet? A star? A nebula?

Given I’m constantly moving through space, and everything else is constantly moving through space, is it fair to say the exact point in space I’m passing through right now may have previously been passed through by other objects, such as those listed in the title? Are exact (maybe what I really mean is “static” or “fixed”?) points in space even a valid notion?

This isn’t a meaningful question because as you suspected, there’s no such thing as an absolute fixed point in space. I’m not saying it’s not a good question, it’s just not one that really makes sense to ask.
