To take this thought to the logical maximum, we are all under the stars, always. All buildings are ultimately outside, and therefore under the stars. Even in the sub-basement of the tallest building, the floors above aren’t that high compared to the atmosphere, and it’s still under the stars.

We're not under the stars; we are amongst the stars, surrounded by the stars, encircled (ensphered?) on all sides.

That is an excellent point!
