I've been fiddling with this old pic for over a month now,
and I need to start something new, but I thought somebody
might like it.

I think it's sufficiently different (better?) to merit a re-post.
The walls are my own terracotta-ish texture, The sun, Venus
and Saturn are my own models, Earth and the moon are
uv mapped, Mars is a simple projection of an image onto
a sphere.

I found much better, more accurate renderings of Saturn's
rings on the web but I still kind of like mine (they're done
with media, a radial density map and type 5 scattering).

The oil painting is by Joseph Wright of Derby, 1734-1797.
