Eclipses and real penumbra

hellow, just tried the last version..... and wow.... even with my voodoo 3...... ( juste maybe a few little bugs with eclipse i noticed on jupiter.... )
i had wathed the 1999 full eclipse from france ;p
and i noticed a thing... the shadow is only a projection on the ground, an i asked myself if it would be difficult to make it kind of "spatial" to have the sky dark, like with a real eclipse, and like the nitghs sides.... cause see an eclipse with full daylight is kind of weird.....
i'll try to take a pic of the jupiter eclipse bugs tonight.... it makes 2 shadows on oposite sites of the sphere, and, we can see the "axes" of the shadow disk ( it makes long shadow lines over the planet.....)
maybe my explainations aren't very understandable, sorry, don't know how to tell them, argh !!!
thanks very much for this program, byyyyye
