I like the image, though. Not much wrong with it, except, imo, that the sun 
is probably to near. The result is that the planets seem to be lighted by 
different sources.

I would at least mutiply the translate by 1000 or 10000:

 light_source{0,4
          //fade_power 2
          translate <2,.1,3>*10000
          }

Hope this helps.
