That explains something that was bugging me about the star spell, namely why the sun and the moon don't dominate the view field.
It also explains why the spell has to be kept a secret.
The moon wouldn't be visible as a distinct point of light from the sun, and while the sun would be bright enough to attract attention, various people have suggested it could be positioned directly below Harry's feet to avoid notice.
