What is black, white and red and found in the cosmos?

Hmmm? Tough question.

There are lots of red, white and black things.

The Cosmos is huge.

Hint?
It flies.

Lots of things fly.

Not much help is it?
Okay. How about this?
It flutters when it flies.

Ah, that narrows it down…

To about a million fluttery things.

Did I mention that it’s black, white and red?

Do you mean like black and white and read all over?

Nope. 
Different riddle.
Try this
Think cosmos

Okay

Space, planets, celestial spheres, galaxies

Orion, the dippers, comets, the moon…

Not that Cosmos
These cosmos

Ah, now we’re getting somewhere!

Thinking…

Black, white, red

Flutters as it flies

In the cosmos,

Not to be confused with THE Cosmos

Last hint
Think naval
No! Not that one

I got it!

Naval as in nautical, not bellybutton

White, red and black

Flutter flying

Among the cosmos and and also within THE Cosmos

A Red Admiral butterfly

Unexpected delight
