Looks great! I'd like to see the camera fly past from the night side to the day
side so we actually see the sun rise and can see the light side of the earth. It
confused my when I saw a posting called "sunrise" then I open it and the camera
starts moving the wrong way!

One small niggle: It looks like the earth's atmosphere is still blue on the dark
side of the planet, is that just light coming round the far side or have you
actually got a blue sky at night? Also I suggest using scattering media with
coloured absorption, because you can tune it to give sunset colours in the sky
between the light and dark sides. I've used it in a few of my renders and I
think it looks cool :)
