As those parts are away from the sun, they should be completely black, only 
showing the reflection of the stars and other stations.
You can add default{finish{ambient 0 diffuse 1}} near the top of the scene.
Or, you can add ambient 0 in the finish of your textures.
As the metals.inc include textures with high ambient. I made mine without 
ambient. (metals2.inc attached) Essential for radiosity scenes and case like 
yours where ambient is unwellcome.

Note: in radiosity, "media on" enable emissive media only to affect radiosity 
lighting. It enable such media to shed light on nearby objects. It have NO other 
effect.
