The term "kesktaevakehast" translates to "midday heavenly body" and is often associated with a bright, luminous object appearing in the sky during the day.

The phenomenon is typically described as a large, glowing orb or sphere that hovers in the sky for a brief period before disappearing. It is often reported to be accompanied by a strong, pleasant scent, which is believed to have healing properties. The appearance of kesktaevakehast is considered a rare and mysterious event, and its significance varies depending on the cultural and personal beliefs of the observer.

In Estonian folklore, kesktaevakehast is often linked to the work of the sky fairies, or taevalised, who are believed to inhabit the heavens and interact with humans. The appearance of kesktaevakehast is seen as a sign that the taevalised are communicating with the earthly realm, and that good fortune or positive change is on the horizon.
