all snaps that are graphical have to ship a .desktop file which is what
defines the graphical launcher. you can search for the app in the
ubuntu dash (the thing that pops up if you click the ubuntu logo on a
default desktop or press the windows key) and drag the icon onto the
desktop.

to get more info about a snap from commandline you can use the "snap
info" command:

$ snap info stellarium-plars

as you can see above the snap comes with one "command" ... that is what
you can find under /snap/bin ...

$ ls /snap/bin/stellarium-plars.stellarium 
/snap/bin/stellarium-plars.stellarium
