i do not know from where you got the 102g number, but from my understanding (no calculations done) a celesitial body the size of our sun (or bigger) made out of rocky materials (at 1 earth atmosphere and about 20ª C) would collapse by its own weight into a neutron star (or smaller). Unless it is totally hollow, if they are on the inside layer when they see the sky they would be looking inside the structure, then it makes more sense that the stars can be so easily rearranged because they are literally lights on a canvas near the center of the structure.
