Map an image to have coordinates to get access of the image

I see difference your texture was converted into cubemap in blender, i used affiniity photo that just changed texture format. Need to learn gimp.

The only thing I did with Gimp was open the EXR file, and exported as HDR file changing the file extension.

I’ve created a test project, with the HDR image, and I have uploaded it to Github if you want to check it. I’ll do it because I’m not sure if my texture is correct and I don’t know how can I know it. It blows my mind what you’ve said:

I found difference (or what is wrong with NASA texture), textures i am using with my material (they are from some space skybox pack) are cubemap textures that use polar coordinates, and nasa texture is just using polar coordinates. There is some step missing on import. So result is not what it should be.
