NASA for really high-res images of the night sky with stars

Back in September 2019, I came across an advertisement for a snow resort in the depths of Lapland. I was amazed by the concept of observing northern lights, or as they also know "Aurora Borealis" in specially equipped glass igloos, and caught fire with the idea of making my own interpretation of this kind of recreation, besides I had little experience in creating large landscape environments, snow materials and effects. My mission was to make this image at least 90% fully 3d, especially auroras, snow, and backgrounds. The project stretched for more than half a year started in September 2019, and finished in April 2020.

This work was supposed to be one of the works on display at the Russian Museum as part of the Art of 3d Graphics exhibition, but due to events around the world it was cancelled and never saw the light of day in its physical form.
