Replying to self (sorry).

"Stellosphere" is wrong, because "stella" is Latin, and "sphere" is from Greek. It should be "asterosphere", but that's a word I've never seen nor heard.

We have been mixing up Latin and Greek for quite a few terms already, so I don't think that should keep you from using a term.
