Planetary Textures: Starlight Sanding

A Galactic Phenomenon of Sparkling Stardust

Starlight Sanding is a rare and wondrous occurrence where the cosmic winds of the galaxy blow starlight particles onto the surfaces of planets, creating a sparkling, iridescent effect on the planetary surfaces.

It is a sight to behold, as if the very fabric of space itself was woven with glittering silver threads.

Currently, Starlight Sanding is observed on the planets of Zorvath, Xeridia, and occasionally on the moon of Gloopernacks.
