celestial symbols
Sky-based iconic representations
Celestial symbols are images representing objects in the sky—sun, moon, stars, planets, comets.
They appear in astronomy, astrology, religion, and heraldry.
The crescent moon marks Islam; the Star of David appears on Israel's flag; astrological charts use stylized glyphs for planets and zodiac signs.
The ancient temple was decorated with celestial symbols.
