You used "looks_like {sphere {...}}", so it looks like a sphere. If you 
make your sphere really small and high ambient, it will look a bit like 
a star.

Why would it have a lens flare? You told it to look like a sphere.
If a lens flare is what you want, media won't help...lens flare is an 
effect of the lens in the camera, not of the atmosphere. What you're 
simulating is atmospheric glow due to scattering. If you want lens 
flare, here's an include file for generating them:
