Globe - Manage bakcground color / stars about maplibre-gl-js HOT 5 OPEN

I believe both this issue and atmosphere issue should use/update the existing sky specification. Also there's a sky branch that is almost ready to be merged, I wonder if we could use some of the code there.

Maybe this is out of scope but how could we have an accurate sky map so that the stars behind the planet looks accurate as if you were viewing the planet from orbit.

This might help as far as assets go.

What do you think?

Perhaps this is more related to a Sky implementation.
My idea for atmosphere and stars are more a layer visible only when far from the globe.
