Appending help

Hey guys! I’ve been working on 2 different projects and I’m liking the earth I’ve got in one of them:

I’d like to append this into another project, but all I’m getting is the earth sphere itself, no textures. Newbie kind of question here, but how do I get that nice little planet into the other project correctly?

(It is a sphere with an image mapped to it, then another sphere for the atmosphere shell around it.)

THANKS ALL!!!
