cosmical
Of the universe
Cosmical means relating to the cosmos or universe—a rarer variant of cosmic.
In astronomy, cosmical has a specific technical sense: a cosmical rising or setting occurs when a star rises or sets at the same time as the sun.
This ancient astronomical term appears in classical texts but is rarely used in modern speech.
