Their only light sources are a small nightlight and the ceiling, which is a mirage of glowing stars, planets, and galaxies.

Hi,

Their only light sources are a small nightlight and the ceiling, which is a mirage of glowing stars, planets, and galaxies.
This does not make sense. Do you mean 'sky' rather than 'ceiling'? Even then, it's a very fancy and unrealistic description of the night sky.
Best wishes, Clive

Is the ceiling of the room covered with luminous facsimiles of stars and so on?  "Mirage" would be the wrong word whatever it is .
