everything that ever happened, happening overhead while you scroll past it indoors
means Relating to the sky or the heavens, especially the stars, planets, and other objects in outer space — or, by extension, divinely beautiful.
from From Latin caelestis, "of the sky or heavens," built on caelum, "sky, heaven." It reached English through Old French celestiel in the late Middle Ages, when "the heavens" meant both the literal star-strewn dome overhead and the divine realm beyond it — the same Latin caelum that still arches over words like "ceiling."
