celestial object

Refraction always causes a celestial object to appear higher than it really is.

The first celestial object to which Galileo directed his telescope was the Moon.

They stopped, and Mr. Wyse quite clearly pointed to some celestial object, moon or star, and they both gazed at it.

Her heroism was rewarded, for immediately after the inspection of the celestial object, they turned and inspected each other.

The altitude of a celestial object is its distance above the horizon measured on the arc of a vertical circle.
