It's a case of not enough samples. In my test, I needed to increase all 
the way to samples 50 to completely get rid of those lines.

In this case, you don't need the color_map as it exactly match what the 
gradient pattern already give you.

Instead of using a sky_sphere with a solid pigment, you should use 
background{ rgb 1}. A sky_sphere is for when you want a pattern as your 
background.

With the current background and media type, you don't need any light.
