star field

Night sky vista

A star field is a region of sky densely populated with visible stars, or a representation of such a view in photography, art, or digital graphics.

In astronomy, it refers to the background of stars against which celestial objects are observed.

In visual media, star fields create the impression of deep space: The spaceship drifted through an endless star field.
