Space music?

Putting a "celestial" title to a piece of classical music is just that and nothing much else.

What your wanting then is cosmic-classical music which tends to suggest a sense of vastness. (And not a friggin' waltz - I dont care if Space Odyssey used it.)

I would definitely suggest anything orchestral by Scriabin.

Others were quick to suggest Krautrock, which doubtless is way of the beam for you.
Still IF you want to venture into proggy/krauty realm a path more easy for a classical guy to take would be Klaus Schultze's "Irrlight" or "X".
Also a quiet proggy one suggestive of open star space is Absolutely Elsewhere "In Search of Ancient Gods".

Also try "Star's End" by David Bedford. All orchestral except for some beautiful electric guitar bits by Mike Oldfield. This however is a dark/violent vision of space.
