The planet does not actually exist, but a cool addon still. I love how the texture and red atmosphere give it an alien look, like it's actually glowing. (was that your intention?). At first I wondered how you created the different scale heights, a look at the ssc file shows a second planet having another atmosphere. Would've been to good to be true...

The planet seems a lot different than what was on the Celestia Motherlode. Is the planet meant to have a tenuous atmosphere that is too thin to maintain a mie/rayleigh scattering effect?
With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied...chains us all irrevocably.
