starfield
Sky full of stars
A starfield is a region of space filled with visible stars, or an image depicting such a scene.
In astronomy, it refers to the background of stars against which celestial objects are observed.
In computing and media, starfield describes the effect of stars streaming past, simulating space travel: The screensaver showed a starfield rushing toward the viewer.
