Well, the EXIF-data of this very newest submission to the thread says:
ISO 200, which may be set to too high for this kind of camera already, though I don't know. By the look of things, it was set to too high already and there already is a lot of noise.
No matter how pretty a night sky can be, it needs an "anchor", something to go with it, ground or trees or houses, else it is boring.
And that third photo (first post) has most of that, which is why most said they liked that one best.
However, I feel your camera - on its automatic sunset settings - quite considerably under-exposed your photos!
