If you want to make a light source visible (like the Sun) there is a very 
clever little trick invented by Sam Benge back in 2004:

Just place a cylinder starting at the camera location and ending at the 
light source location, use open, hollow, no_shadow, pigment {rgbt 1}, and 
some appropriate finish. This works very, very well (thanks again, Sam!)
