starscapes
Views of constellations
Starscapes are views or images of stars in the night sky, analogous to landscapes but with celestial rather than terrestrial scenery.
The term appears in astronomy, photography, and science fiction: The photographer specialized in desert starscapes.
It can extend to any artistic or descriptive rendering of a star-filled sky.
