galactically
On stellar scales
Galactically means on the scale of a galaxy or relating to galaxies.
It most often appears in scientific contexts describing distances, movements, or phenomena measured across cosmic expanses: galactically speaking, our solar system is unremarkable.
In casual use, galactically serves as hyperbole for something enormous or extreme: The project was galactically over budget.
