cosmic phenomena
Universe's grand occurrences
Cosmic phenomena are events and processes occurring in outer space—supernovae, black holes, solar flares, meteor showers, auroras.
The phrase appears in scientific contexts discussing observable occurrences beyond Earth's atmosphere: Scientists study cosmic phenomena to understand the universe's origins.
Cosmic emphasizes vast scale; phenomena marks these as observable rather than theoretical.
