Beautiful !!
I've played a bit with your code, especially the clouds, because I think
they are to dark. Why do you use filter instead of transmit. I've changed it
to transmit and you get better lightning beneath the outer torus.
To make it more white I've changed the intensity of  both the light_ source
aswell as the white of the clouds.
Added some stars too.
I've attached the adapted file.

Greetings,

Jaap Frank
