"light emitting foggy things"? Not in POV-Ray sir, sorry to say.
However, if you meant simulated (isn't everything?) then the answer
might be multiple medias or rather multiple torii with a 'media' in each
along with a 'light_source'. Some such thing. Check out the demo scenes
under Scenes\Interior\Media for some examples. Mapping to a torus try
using the 'ripples' pattern in the 'density' statement using a
'density_map' or 'color_map'.
I don't think radiosity is going to work on the media so no glow via
that.
//following is the Hollow3.pov modified for this purpose:
global_settings {
number_of_waves 0 //removes the multiple wave pattern interferences
}
#include "colors.inc"
camera {

look_at <0, 25, 35>
angle 35
}
background { color rgb<0.2, 0.4, 0.8> }
light_source { <0, 0, 0> color rgb <1.5,1.25,.25> } //light at center of
torus (no good really)
plane { y, -2
pigment { rgb <.7,.8,.9> }

In my continuing attempts to make an Aurora, I have been working with this
(below) but I have yet to make a multi-layered one. Nor am I able to get an
outward curving slice of this one...
