 Our earth planet model can be improved in several ways:

 1. Day and night textures that get exchanged according to the light source
 of the scene.

 2. Create cloud textures that are displayed above the regular day/night
 texture.

 3. Create a particle effect for the entrance in the atmosphere.

 4. Create a high resolution earth model with a hight map that will replace
 the regular eath model, when the player gets too close.

 -> This will be awesome eye candy.
