Okay. I've figured out some stuff about media, and this is what I've got so
far:

#include "colors.inc"

camera {
  location <0.000000,0.000000,3.000000>
  look_at <0.000000,0.000000,0.000000>

}

background {color rgb <0,0,0>}

light_source {

  <-1000.000000,1000.000000,3000.000000>
  color rgb <1.0000,1.0000,1.0000>
           }


sphere{<0,0,0>,1
     interior{media{emission rgb 1
    density { spherical
      color_map {
       [0.0 VeryDarkBrown]
       [0.05 Brown]
       [0.15 rgb <0.8,0.4,0.2>]
       [1.0 rgb <0.8,0.8,0.4>]
      }}}}
      hollow
    texture {pigment {rgbt 0.9
    }
     finish{ambient 0 diffuse 0 phong 0}}
 }

I've got the colors I want, but it's too uniform to pass for an explosion.
Is there a way to make this ball of media look more fluffy, like a cloud?
