Not really. The Blast Boys is exactly right. Both are being used at the moment, so it's an important distinction. The promos are using Cosmos and the new Pokémon ex are using Galaxy.

Wow. Arcanine's design alone in comparison makes all of those other displayed pokémon look like shit
they are

okay I didn't see Blastoise and Suicune then

There's a Jirachi V that never came out so surely it gets a box. Just speculation.
I've always understood these to be fanmade terms and often confused with one another. It's a strange hill to try and die on unless it can be "objectively" proven that the terms actually come from internal names for the foil.

According to bulbapedia, they are called Starlight Holofoil, there is no "galaxy" holo. Maybe in a galaxy far far away there might be one.

Maaaan, call wizards and ask where they got the good stuff
Good, I can finally start collecting again. Too bad only promos have the cosmos pattern. Wish they had it for regular holos as well.
Just got my Mimikyu ex promos and for a second there I thought they were counterfeit. Colors look washed out. Hopefully these are better though.
They missed with the new ex cards. They all seem to look bad. Why is the holo so abruptly cut at the bottom. What's up with that. It looks pretty cheap
I've seen many reports about this, they look awful indeed, let's hope it's just a mistake and not something that is gonna ruin an entire era of cards.
I am excited nonetheless for these cards.
Yep you're right
Wait the holo cuts at the bottom? If you look at a number of the new ex cards the pokemon in the art goes under the card, then abruptly cuts at that bottom part. So mimikyu looks randomly much lighter as under the card the art of the mimikyus shadow just abruptly stops. I don't think the holo cuts at the bottom, just the colour.
Look at regular miraidon ex for a really easy to digest example of what I'm on about. The pokemon continues under the card but its toes are cut at the bottom. Same is true for koraidon ex, though the splintering rocks are not cut. I don't get why they chose to do that, but I don't think it's nearly as bad as people think.
I'm starving for news, anyone know if we're about to get some new spoilers? Maybe something from whatever japanese set is gonna combine with Triple Beat to form our eventual Paldea Evolved one? (For some reason some people seem to always know when we're about to get these types of stuff, anyone?)

Not sure, but one month from today will be the schedule release for Japan's Clay Burst, Snow Hazard. We can speculate which pokemon might appear on that set.
