It's not. It's the planet Kessel. It has no atmosphere so you can see all the ground operations, all the blinking lights and what not.The most important planet in the galaxy would not be built up close to several black holes.
Being a nerd is useful sometimes.

It's supposed to be all potato-shaped or something, too, so I'm not sure what's up with that. Maybe we're looking at it narrow-edge on so it just looks round.

Found this on wikipedia.org
Kessel
Kessel is a prison planet and home to one of the galaxy's largest spice mining operations. It is the only source of the Glitterstim spice, an extremely rare and valuable drug used therapeutically and euphorically. Located in the Outer Rim, Kessel was administered by Moruth Doole who ran a prison work camp to harvest Glitterstim. Later, Lando Calrissian obtained control of Kessel and replaced the prison workers with droids.
Kessel is located in the Kessel sector, near Hutt Space. Nearby is The Maw, a cluster of black holes. The planet has a barren landscape of rock and a thin atmosphere. The little air it does have is generated at factories on the surface. It has a moon called Garrison Moon.
The gravity distortions of the nearby Maw warp space tremendously making it very difficult to navigate a starship through it without a highly skilled pilot. Ships approaching Kessel take long winding courses through the Maw to avoid the danger of being sucked into a gravity well. On a mission where he was pressed for time, Han Solo was able to navigate the shortest course through the Maw ever of 12 parsecs. With the boosted speed of the Millennium Falcon, Solo managed to haul a load of spice for the Hutts in record time and earned a reputation as a top rate smuggler.
edit: Just send a Private Message to me if anyone has any questions on anything in the Star Wars universe. I know alot of sites to look for information.

Mmm, we should be able to do that kessel run.
*lightbulb*
What if there WAS a kessel run? Like the ground race tracks?
Oh man, I gotta think about this some more.

"It's the ship that made the Kessel run in 12 parsecs."
I'm glad the argument about that line and how the parsec is a distance measurement has been settled.
