If your density looks like this:

density { spherical turbulence .5
  density_map { [0 rgb .1] [1 rgb 1] }
}

The media will appear throughout the entire container object.  If, on the
other hand, your density looks like this:

density { spherical turbulence .5
  density_map { [.001 rgb 0] [.001 rgb .1] [1 rgb 1] }
}

The pattern will fade to nothing at its edges.

Hope this helps,
John
