Celestial Mechanics. Or Astronomy
Astronomy: Noun: The branch of science that deals with celestial objects, space, and the physical universe as a whole.
The celestial sphere is an imaginary sphere surrounding the Earth, with celestial equator and celestial poles located on it. The celestial equator is an extension of Earth's equator onto the celestial sphere, while the celestial poles are the points where Earth's rotation axis intersects the celestial sphere. These features can be observed in the night sky.
Latitude is based on the celestial observation of the angle of the sun or a celestial body above the horizon at noon. By measuring this angle, sailors and navigators can determine their north-south position on Earth.
Terrestrial navigation refers to the process of navigating through the use of landmarks, the positions of celestial bodies, or other references on the Earth's surface. It includes methods such as using maps, compasses, GPS, and sextants to determine one's location and course on land.
The celestial coordinate system is exactly analogous to the terrestrial positioning system based on latitude and longitude. Terrestrial latitude ---> celestial 'declination'. Terrestrial longitude ---> celestial 'right ascension', where one 'hour' = 15 degrees.

The opposite word of celestial is terrestrial, which refers to things that relate to or exist on Earth.
An observatory is a location used for observing terrestrial and/or celestial events.
This explanation unified the motion of celestial bodies and motion of objects on earth.

Yes. According to the doctrine of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church), there are three levels or kingdoms of heaven, the Celestial, Terrestrial, and Telestial. The Celestial Kingdom is the highest, and is the eternal home of God the Father and Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ has the ability to visit those in the Terrestrial kingdom, but his home is the Celestial Kingdom at the right hand of His Father, God.
