Product Notes
Whenever you render a planet, all you need is a sphere. But if you want to render a planet and moon, then you need two spheres, and you have to make them different sizes, set them some distance apart and tilt them at some angle. It takes no more effort (other than a Google search) to make them the right sizes, set them the right distance apart and tilt them at the right angles.Earth has a multilayer atmosphere which includes a procedural cloud layer. By adjusting the transparency you can simulate any weather condition from clear skies to complete overcast. Its interesting that with careful placement of the camera and selection of field of view (or zoom) you can make almost any planet and moon appear in almost any size and relative position in any given render. For this render, for example, the camera is as far away from the Earth as the Moon (in lunar orbit) and on the opposite side from the Moon (is that Lagrange 2?) as zoomed in to a telescopic view.

I have used a few such images before, but never seen anything like this. Before I even try to use these, let me say this is perhaps the most intelligent use of 3D modeling I have seen yet.
