So we have Aurelion Sol, a celestial dragon, Bard, a spirit who is celestially inclined, and Soraka who's...a thing that's kinda celestial. I mean Sol's like "Do you wonder what you are?" so perhaps he has better insight on what she is.
The Targonians are difficult since there's no framework for how they operate on a physical or magical level. For our resident celestial buddies we can see how they work; Aurelion Sol's sort of a mix between material and immaterial as far as constitution goes, Soraka's pretty much physical in all aspects and Bard's completely non phyical, but the Targonians we've only ever seen them inhabit human bodies and appear as golden children.
Bard's also got weirdness surrounding him considering we have a spirit realm and celestial stuff being seemingly quite distinct; the spirit realm's tied to things like demons and faeries, where as the celestial stuff is about stars and cosmic things. I mean if we extrapolate that the spirit realm parallels the physical universe than Bard could maybe be the spirit version of celestial concept? I dunno, I'm just imagining things now trying to discern things and I figure that some kinds of power would bridge the gap between the two and be accessible to beings from both realms, so you could have beings like Soraka and Bard having similar powers while being physical and a spirit, and then have beings like Aurelion Sol who seems to transcend such concepts and exist by his own rules.
And then of course there's Aurelion Sol and Soraka, where in passing you could say that he's Soraka's grandad, but how does the connection work truly? I feel like the answer lies in stars themselves and how they operate because given how Ascension has always been described as a gift more than a power they Ascended obtained and how Soraka was guided by the stars that the stars themselves might have some kind of will of their own, and perhaps are "alive" in some way. I dunno, just throwing ideas around.
My biggest take away is that celestial power seems to be the purest kind of energy in the universe from which everything else originates from, perhaps even magic, so when you get to that level the boundaries between concepts like being alive and dead or physical and spiritual just seems to fade away. It's something that actually interests me about Xerath; his Ascension made him a being of arcane might and I wonder if his form is sort of indicative of how close he is to just transcending all forms of limitations and becoming sort of celestial in a way. Not sure if that's actually a thing though, but it's interesting to think about.
