I like this although i would leave out the comet idea and just go for 
earth + some rock/ice fragments.  The ice material is already quite 
impressive - must be quite slow to render or did you use some fast fake 
scattering technique?.  The only thing that bothers me is the grainy 
reflection spot on the earth.
