Knee-jerk thought is the old-fashioned “heavenly,” with the strict astronomical meaning a close second.

  1. (adj) Pertaining to the astronomical objects can be observed in the night sky.

10

Of the heavens. Containing stars. Of the biblical heaven, as a reference to the real galaxies.

Edit to add: Considering what ads showed up when I dictionary’d the word, I think I can guess where you’re going with this. And it’s not something I’d thought of, either.

11

Something above the atmosphere.

12

Of, or referring to the stars and night sky.

13

[spoiler]Astronomical
Heavenly

That’s all I can think of for now. Basically it means pertaining to the sky or the stars.[/spoiler]

14

starry, night sky-ie, heavenish

15


Heavenly.
Ethereal.
Angelic.

16

“heavenly”, typically when discussing concepts in Far Eastern/Asian religions or philosophies

17

The best synonym I could think of would be heavenly

eta:I think some people use it to describe anything up in space. So they call astronomical objects celestial. But I think the word refers to a spiritual location - heaven as a place up above us not things that are in orbit. And by extension it can be applied to heaven-like objects in other locations - celestial gardens or celestial beings.

18

Of, or relating to, the stars.

19

[spoiler]Celestial - having to do with the sky, generally the night sky

Stars, planets, etc.

Oops, a synonym… atmospheric - no… maybe “galactic”?

heavenly; also relating to the stars/planets. I don’t think there can be too long of a list; that’s what it means (to me). What else could it mean?
