fix(sky): ease the Milky Way black level in at the median sky

Away from the galactic plane the ESO panorama keeps a mottled glow of
unresolved stars and dust. With the black level at the darkest quarter of
the sky and a hard cut, it showed as grey clouds with black holes around
the globe. The black level now sits at the median sky and eases in with a
soft knee on luminance, keeping each pixel's hue: high galactic latitudes
are black, the band keeps its glow. Faces shrink from 247 to 85 KB.

The changelog fragment also notes the anime fade and the new asset weight.
