Celestial
Godlike space entities
Celestial describes things relating to the sky or heavens.
In astronomy, celestial bodies are objects in space—stars, planets, moons: celestial navigation, the celestial sphere.
The word carries connotations of the divine or sublime: celestial beings, celestial music.
Something celestial suggests otherworldly beauty or heavenly origin: Her voice had a celestial quality.
