celestial objects
Things in space
Celestial objects are natural bodies in space—stars, planets, moons, asteroids, comets, galaxies.
The term appears in astronomy and science writing to encompass everything observable beyond Earth's atmosphere: The telescope revealed dozens of celestial objects.
Celestial implies the heavens, lending a slightly elevated tone compared to simply saying "things in space."
