Ah, yes. Emitting media does that. The way I see it, you have two options:
1) Use scattering media for the atmosphere. Slow, and probably ovekill.
2) Use a gradient color_map for the media, going from dark at the night side to
light at the day side. Since you can't control the emission and absorption
amount separately, you might have to use two medias, one (constant density) for
the absorbing part, and one (gradient density) for the emitting part.
