A celestial object or astrophysical object was any naturally occurring physical object that existed in the universe, such as stars and planetary bodies. Such objects emitted broad-spectrum black body radiation. (DIS: "All In")
A large celestial object passed at near right angles to the plane of the Bre'el IV star system, and disrupted the orbit of the Bre'el IV moon, which began a downward trajectory into the planet. This fact was revealed to the engineering staff of the USS Enterprise-D by Q as they attempted to correct the moon's descent. Q attributed the culprit as being "probably a black hole." When Commander Data inquired a recommendation on how to counter the effect, Q said, "Simple. Change the gravitational constant of the universe." (TNG: "Deja Q")
