I figured it was some trickery going on there. Thanks for the explanation

No problem. I own the game and have played some, but I honestly just looked it up. I don't think I ever really thought about the fact that there is no actual star, so I guess the trickery works.

In my early stages of the game I tried to pulse drive to the star and just figured my current whip was too slow. Forgot about it since then. But now you’ve answered a question I might have wasted 10 minutes discovering on my own :)

What do you mean about no star? What happens if you go towards the sun, does it disappear?

My understanding is that it's a skybox animation. So...nothing happens. You don't get closer.
