Photorealistic Earth Attempt

Hello everyone! This is my first post on this forum, documenting a WIP render of Earth in Cycles. I used textures from NASA’s Blue Marble website found here: http://visibleearth.nasa.gov/view_cat.php?categoryID=1484

Here is a short breakdown of the render: [video]https://youtu.be/tU3GC-GS_FE[/video]

Finally, here is the node setup for the atmosphere shader, based off the tutorial at this link: http://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/7509/atmosphere-rayleigh-mie-scattering-in-cycles

Feel free to leave criticism or suggestions!
