space-like

Like the cosmos

Space-like describes something resembling or suggestive of outer space—vast, dark, empty, or cosmic in character: The museum's planetarium had a space-like atmosphere.

In physics, space-like refers to intervals in spacetime where two events are separated by more space than time, meaning neither can influence the other: a space-like separation between the particles.
