Intensity - Specifies the brightness of the stars.

Spectral - If enabled, more distant star's color will shift towards red.

Temperature (min/max) - Used to determine (in Kelvin) the color range of the stars when Spectral mode is enabled.

Transform - Positions, scales, and rotates the surface texture.

Projection - Sets how the texture projects onto the surface.
