Celestial amplitudes are multiple Mellin transforms w.r.t. conformal dimensions. For arbitrary multiplicity of massless states in sufficiently high space–time dimension we perform all Mellin integrations and find an associahedron description in celestial space. The latter expresses celestial tree–level amplitudes as the canonical forms associated with this positive geometry. This yields a geometric interpretation of celestial amplitudes in terms of the underlying boundary geometry. Our universal treatment of Mellin integrals in dimensions also provides a unified description of celestial amplitudes arising from different bulk theories.
