Add a milkyway and stars background to the globe

Use the space preset option in the map constructor to provide a more realistic space background for your maps.

This option only takes effect when used in conjunction with the projection: 'globe' parameter.

In this example, we’ll use a Milky Way background, but you can choose: star backgrounds, space backgrounds, and more. See all the predefined presets backgrounds.
