Ha ha! Thanks Daniel, that's a compliment. Someone said that last time I
posted it, IIRC.

Ahh, an oversight. I haven't added a light shining back from the Earth yet!
That might do it. Although, probably not high up enough to illuminate the
upper parts of the CS. There already is a shadowless light directly above
but it's extremely dim. Originally I was never intending to have any other
illumination besides the sunlight, and moon surface diffusing onto it by
using radiosity.

The Earth doesn't really add anything by radiosity alone so I'll add a light
source to it.
