(This post only serves the function of organizing and recording my initial thoughts. Someone needs to write a musicological, psychological and philosophical book on the relationship between the cosmos and music.)
I can't help but compare the Penderecki piece with György Ligeti's Lux Aeterna from a few years earlier in 1966.[1] No doubt there are subsequent pieces (Stockhausen, say, or Sun Ra) that also think and feel in a musical idiom relative to cosmic themes, and also works from decades prior like Holst's The Planets written between 1914-1917.
The broader question I'm posing to myself: How has music reflected our knowledge and understanding of space and our place in it?
How can musical and sound arts take us to places of emotional understanding that conceptual understanding cannot?
How does it feel to be aware of mind bending quantum mechanics and relativity, the spatial and chronological vastness of the cosmos, the awareness of floating in an inherent mystery that surrounds earth on all sides and how can art express this?
One set of compositional techniques uses source material from astronomical data itself.
Italian astrophysicist Fiorella Terenzi translates radio waves into sound, then composes pieces with this material.

Similarly, but using familiar orchestral instruments:
"Since 2020, the “sonification” project at NASA’s Chandra X-ray Center has translated the digital data taken by telescopes into notes and sounds. This process allows the listener to experience the data through the sense of hearing instead of seeing it as images, a more common way to present astronomical data."
[1] I'm curious about the respective knowledge of Ligeti and Penderecki concerning cosmology. Penderecki's piece, to oversimplify, feels very much earthbound to me, whereas Ligeti's Lux Aeterna to me captures the sublimity of an alien presence or the solitary passage of the human soul in spacetime beyond all familiar boundaries. A naive question: Had ligeti spent more time contemplating the odd realities of relativity and the cosmic vastness?

Ligeti György az én szubjektív véleményem szerint méltatlanul ritkán említett szerző. A Le Grand Macabre talán nem a legkönnyebben befogadható darab, de Barbara Hannigan valami eszelősen jó Gepopo. Noha ugyanaz a darab, ugyanaz az eloado, mégis a két videó nagyon más hangulatot sugároz. Persze, az egyik egy rövid szóló, míg a másik az opera valós színpadi előadása, mégis érdemes egymást követően megnézni őket. Mindkettő zseniális, mindkettőt nagyon szeretem.
Korábban a teljes New York Philharmonic előadás fent volt a YouTube-on, ha valaki rátalál, nézze meg! Íme a második felvétel:
