Celestial describes anything related to the sky, outer space, or the heavens. It can also mean heavenly or very beautiful and perfect.
From Old French 'celestiel', from Latin 'caelestis' meaning 'heavenly', from 'caelum' meaning 'sky' or 'heaven'. The word has long linked the physical sky with spiritual ideas of heaven.
When you say 'celestial bodies', you’re literally calling planets and stars 'heavenly bodies'. The word quietly blends science and spirituality, because for centuries people didn’t separate the sky from the idea of heaven.
