This doesn't sound realistic to me. Could you share a link to the video?
This was years ago, so I doubt I could find it now. Nonetheless, it looked something like this (zooming in and blue sky turns black): https://www.youtube.com/shorts/dJ28M29k4MY
I think you fell victim to some video editing tricks. I am quite sure that you can't zoom past the blue part or something like that.
Unless, of course, zooming in would mean actually moving upwards through the atmosphere.
That is certainly a possibility. As I recall, the video was not focused on "zoom to the stars" but something else (I'm thinking it was "you can actually see the moon moving through the sky"), so I'm more inclined to believe that I am either mis-remembering the "stars" part of the video, or that what I saw in the video was not stars (maybe Venus, Jupiter, or satellites) as it was certainly not a vast high-contrast star-field...
