My ceiling looks like Space and stars

Light doesn't know scale, it'll behavior almost the same regardless of the size

A ceiling bulb and a star that’s 400 light years away appear the same when recorded by a camera. This is my bedroom ceiling it's like I'm looking into space, seeing the stars radiate their light through the thick darkness.

That's just a bubble of a gas, those spikes are just the light warp taking the shape of the ceiling bulb. There are no two different sets of physics for ceiling bulbs and stars, which should impress you if you're a science fanatic.

The light spikes in the ceiling bulb photo are called diffraction spikes. Light bends around the edge of the lens and causes the spikes. It will do this with a lens that is on a camera, or with a lens of a telescope in a lab shooting at a star. The lens will do this no matter what it is looking at. Although my eyes see different but this is the image I van take and show you.

The way light works in space is the same with the light around the ceiling bulb. Haze surrounds the bulb the same way. Dust and texture cause the light to scatter. The texture on the ceiling is just a light haze around the light fixture. Light can cause haze the same way in a gas nebula, you should look up nebula on YouTube you'll be impressed with the majesty of celestial objects.

The process is always the same, the difference is only the scale.

The lens that shot the photo sees a ceiling. The lens that was shot at a gas nebula sees a nebula. There is no change in the rules just because the lens is looking at a different ceiling.

There are no rules in physics that depend on the distance between two stars. There’s no special rule for a light source in a room versus a star that’s burning a million miles away. There’s only one rule in the physics of the entire universe. I could call this evidence of a designer but I'm not stupid. We leave room for answersbwe don't know yet.

Looking at my ceiling in this way manifested my objectively great critical thinking ability regarding the mysteries of the universe. I have learned a lot just looking up.
