celestial events
Happenings above Earth
Celestial events are observable phenomena in the sky—eclipses, meteor showers, planetary alignments, comets, solstices.
The term covers both predictable occurrences like equinoxes and rare spectacles like supernovas.
We stayed up to watch the celestial event.
Throughout history, celestial events have been interpreted as omens or divine signs.
