"Objects in space" doesn't only mean the stars above you.
Tap to flip backHint 3: Almost there. Unlocks after the previous card is flipped.

Solution
Only four of the stars in the sky are noticeably bigger than the rest. The fifth "object in space" is the planet you're standing on, so one point of the star goes on the ground.
Connect the four large stars and that point on the ground into a five-pointed star. Because the lowest point is on the Earth, the star ends up pointing downward — and it's far bigger than any star made from the sky alone.
About this puzzle
You’re shown a night sky full of stars. Connect the five largest objects in space with straight lines to draw the biggest five-pointed star you can, without any line passing through another star.
