One minor correction: in Spanish, it isn't correct to modify a noun with
another noun. You can say "starfield" in English and German [sternfeld],
for example, but in Spanish you must have one as a prepositional phrase:
Campo de Estrellas or Campo de las Estrellas.

It would probably also work if one noun became a past participle: Campo
Estrellado (starred field).
