    The sky_sphere feature just provides a background. It is considered 
to be infinitely distant, which gives you an infinite amount of media in 
front of it. Try putting your media in a container that simulates an 
actual atmosphere.

    Since you are just doing atmospheric haze, you might find fog easier 
to control and faster to render. It is far less flexible and less 
accurate, but much faster. You won't see light and shadows in it, so it 
isn't good for dense fog, but it should be fine for an even haze.
