Additional Comments
Have also attempting to install the RPM version, that version crashes with a segmentation fault.
I've progressed a bit, I can get the RPM version to work correctly.
I ran the following command sudo dnf install nvidia-vaapi-driver libva-utils vdpauinfo which was missing from my install and now Stellarium is loading as expected.
Flatpak version of Stellarium still isn't loading
Does it help if you remove
libvdpau-va-glpackage?
Do you mean via dnf (RPM) or a flatpak package?
Do you mean via dnf (RPM) or a flatpak package?
Do you have both? I think there's only the system one, RPM, and I suspect it may be used flatpak Stellarium, although I'm not sure.
In any case, the symptoms still look like this is a duplicate of the above mentioned issue, which should be fixed soon.
