Well, first, your media isn't contained by any object. This makes it 
somewhat unpredictable, and doesn't work well for the background areas, 
so I put it in a sphere.
Second, you seem to be using MegaPOV, so you might as well use method 3 
media. You can get smoother results with lower settings and much faster 
rendering this way.
Finally, your media is *way* too dense. I decreased it to 1/20th of what 
it was. Here is my version of the media, you might want to fine-tune the 
density and extinction:
sphere {<0,0,0>, 1 scale < 1000, 150, 1000>
    texture {
        pigment {color rgbf <1,1,1,1>}
    }
    interior {
        media {
            intervals 1
            samples 5, 5
            confidence 0.9
            variance 1/128
            ratio 1
            scattering {1, rgb 0.005 extinction 0.6}
            method 3
            aa_level 4 aa_threshold 0.1
        }
    }
    hollow on
}
