General Notes
Fixing Errors
I immediately ran into an issue with the Scene Color node. The fix for this was going to the Main Camera and setting the “Opaque Texture” to ON (found under the Rendering section of the Camera). This made the shader and material match the scene color appropriately, giving that transparent look.
I found a generic space texture to use for my background to emulate the one used in the tutorial. I turned it into a Cube texture to create a Cubemap material to use as my Skybox material. That was what I used Tutorial #2 linked to above for.
I was still having an issue seeing the effects in the scene view (it was just remaining as a matte gray plane). I found that modifying the Opaque Texture flag in the UniversalRenderPipelineAsset (High-Quality for me and my current Unity version) resolved this issue, as described here:

Multiply to Control Effect Distribution
They multiplied the noise with a round particle texture to create a round visual effect on the rectangular plane that contained all the interesting visual effects. The white parts of the texture contained the focus on the noise, while the black parts did not receive impact from the noise. The transition between the two then also creates a bit of a smoother transition from where the distortion occurs to the lack of distortion.
