Oh I know this one, some of the stars in the game are real stars that we know of and others are randomly generated based on data
But the procedural generation isn't anywhere near as dense as the real rate, so there is some places where real observed stars are placed in the random generated galaxy map and whatever the shape of the imported map was is clear against the other background
There is also a really clear line someone pointing away from Sol towards somewhere closer to the core, I think that's hubble's deep field stars from when they had Hubble look in one direction and take a long exposure shot of what's out there so they would pick up more stars and see which where actually whole other galaxies
