celestial
Relating to heavens
Celestial describes things relating to the sky or heavens.
In astronomy, celestial bodies are stars, planets, and other objects in space: celestial navigation, the celestial sphere.
The word also carries spiritual connotations—heavenly, divine, or supremely beautiful: celestial music, celestial beings.
The celestial glow of the aurora filled the northern sky.
