not English
mkobjects - Make/add
The terms "make" and "objects" are very specific, very limited, jargon-like "reserved words" in this usage. Items are being created in the computer's memory which contain both data and operative code. These items are being used to encapsulate information about individual stars and galaxies which are derived from more than one source and to render them into a shared bitmap which can be displayed as a color picture.
In other words, it isn't really English. While derived from English in hope of being descriptive and reminding the programmer which part does what, they are really arbitrary function and type conventions in a high-level (abstracted) computer language.

Re: not English
It clearly say make/add ARTIFICIAL stars, not already existing, real stars
You can't make real stars with your computer, they are extremely damn big and hot and would reduce you to plasma.
You can create classes to hold the information about them and keep it from interfering with the information about the background that you want to render them on top of, even though that is an artificial distinction in terms of the pictures you begin with, which are undifferentiated bitmaps.
You don't have to spell it out for me thank you
I'm not really doing it for you, I'm doing it for any esentially honest people who might be misled by your attempt to exploit jargon to imply things that aren't true.
I'm just using you as a dead horse to key the information into the side of for easy reference.
