OK so you’re asking where did all that other space stuff come from? The planets are circles filled with various Xara Texture Fills with a transparent black & white radial fill on top. The center of the fill has been offset creating the 3D effect. The various glowing objects are merely ellipses and circles with Radial Transparency applied. The space clouds are from a duplicate background shape that has been filled with a sky Pattern Fill and made extremely subtle with a Linear Transparency.
