All I noticed is a couple missing left braces and the syntax error in 'scattering'
which I suppose was meant to say
either type 1 or type 2 would do okay there.... maybe....

| Uhm, are you obfuscating the code on purpose, or is it just me?

Here's what I did with it.  Hope you don't mind me reposting it here Gail, I couldn't
match what I thought of as a
serenity in your rendering.

#version unofficial MegaPov 0.4;

sphere {0,30
 texture {pigment {bozo turbulence .25
        color_map {[.67 color rgb<.2,.5,.9>][.7 color rgb<.6,.8,.7>]}
         scale 5}
       finish {ambient .075 diffuse .5}}
 texture {pigment {bozo turbulence 2
        color_map {[.4 color rgbf 1][.7 color rgb 1]}
         scale 10}
       finish {ambient .125 diffuse .9}}
}
sphere {0, 38
 pigment {color rgbt 1}
 interior {
  media {
  method 3
  scattering {1, 0.03}  // type 1 or 2? tweak till it looks good
  samples 1,1
  intervals 1
  density {
   spherical
   color_map {
    [0 color rgb 0]
    [1 color <0, 0.75, 1>*10]
   }
   scale 33  // changing adjusts the distance from the planet
  }
  }
 }
