cosmic

Of the universe

Cosmic relates to the cosmos—the universe as an ordered whole.

It describes things pertaining to outer space: cosmic rays, cosmic dust.

More often, cosmic conveys vastness or profound significance: cosmic questions about existence, a discovery of cosmic importance.

Something can be cosmically insignificant or a cosmic coincidence.

The word suggests scale beyond ordinary human concerns.
