Celestial is a term used to describe anything that exists in the sky, such as stars, planets, comets, asteroids and galaxies. Celestial objects are often studied by astronomers and astrophysicists in order to gain insight into the formation of our universe. Celestial bodies can be observed from Earth using telescopes or other instruments. Some celestial objects are visible to the naked eye while others require more powerful instruments for observation. The study bodies helps us understand how our universe works and how it has evolved over time. It also allows us to explore distant galaxies and other phenomena that would otherwise remain hidden from view.
