This is my theory about Pop Star:

Pop Star, despite being a rocky body, is large enough to be at the center of its own planetary system. The power of the Fountain of Dreams and the Star Rod causes Pop Star to retain the shape of a five-point star instead of imploding into a sphere under gravity. Pop Star is massive. In fact, it's so large that the light source for the entire system (a main sequence star a bit smaller than our Sun) orbits around Pop Star itself! However, since gravity depends on distance, Pop Star's gravity is similar to Earth's at its surface.

Pop Star emits a bright yellow aura, despite the fact that its sky is blue. This is due to charged particles from the sun reacting with air in the upper atmosphere of Pop Star. Energy from the Fountain of Dreams and the Star Rod colors the perpetual aurorae yellow.

Pop Star has two rings. Both are made of icy material similar to compacted snow, and appear white from a distance. Charged particles from the sun can often cause the rings to change color -- the most common variations are red, green, and/or blue.

The sun and moon of Pop Star are sentient, with a consciousness of their own. This is possible because the setting is in a video game universe. NOVA, a wish-granting, comet-sized machine, orbits Pop Star at the farthest edges of its system. He can be summoned by combining the powers of at least six of the Dream Springs of Pop Star's planet, plus the power of Pop Star's Dream Spring (the Master Dream Spring) itself.

Pop Star is part of a cluster of planetary systems that altogether form the Gamble Galaxy. It is possible that other galaxies may exist in the Kirby universe, though this has not been confirmed.

Almost all of this theory is based upon confirmed Kirby canon in the Kirby video game series, but it's also partly inspired by the anime.
