Well, as you realize, seen from a planet's surface, the basic shape is 
not really important. I could also just use a cylinder or a box within 
the camera view ;-)

However, I want to go a little bit further than just that make-believe 
and so came up with a torus. Btw, Nekar's spiral galaxy in the Objects 
Collection might also be a possibility to investigate.
