heavenly bodies
Stars and planets
Heavenly bodies are celestial objects—stars, planets, moons, comets, asteroids, and other natural objects in space.
The term belongs to older astronomical writing and poetic usage: The ancients tracked the heavenly bodies across the night sky.
Modern scientific contexts typically prefer *celestial bodies* or name specific object types directly.
