Very nice. Now, there are two things left to do:

1) Make the blue (all the water) pigment transparent and let a water texture
show through that would properly reflect solar illumination,

2) put in some clouds

There is a web site that posts a global satellite photo of just clouds every
three hours. Wrap the earth in another sphere slightly larger with the clouds
and another transparent color.

I may try it, but again, that is a little beyond my capabilities.
