I think the old one you were thinking of was used to demonstrate atmosphere. 
I wrote a tutorial many years ago on how to convert atmosphere to media 
using this scene. I'll upload it to binaries.scene-files as a zip file in 
case you're interested. The problems I note in the tutorial were eventually 
solved by the new sampling methods for media in subsequent versions of 
POV-Ray.
