Sometimes bugs in graphics code can produce some pretty results . . . Here's an image of Earth that's the result of an atmospheric scattering simulation gone awry:



Personally, I think it looks a bit Venusian.

It's a prophecy of what's to come! lol

Very pretty

It's funny, but that's still probably a more realistic rendition of a crescent planet (not the Earth, perhaps) than anything Celestia's shown so far .

Would a real atmosphere (not necessarily Earths) show the reddening at the horns of the crescent, or is that just an artifact caused by the program going wrong?

BTW, Chris - will you be able to get an "opposition surge" effect at zero phase angle once all this is up and running?

Sometimes it do happen.

The Picture indeed look awesome and Pretty .

LOL

Very nice picture!!!
