Heavenly
Pertaining to paradise
Heavenly describes what belongs to or resembles heaven, the divine realm where God or gods dwell.
By extension, it characterizes anything supremely beautiful, blissful, or delightful: This chocolate cake is absolutely heavenly.
The word often appears in religious contexts referring to celestial beings or the afterlife, but its informal use as enthusiastic praise for earthly pleasures is equally common.
A heavenly body is an astronomical object like a star or planet.
