High!

My first "feature-length" PoV-Ray animation is online now:

For best viewing, choose 480p quality and maximize the image!

For the next version (0.5) I plan using a satellite image mosaic texture 
at a still somewhat higher resolution (30000 by 15000), real day-night 
change (Earth rotates with the camera, thus using also a NASA "night 
lights" mosaic texture), realistic atmosphere (using Bruno Cabasson's 
include file like already with the "Ghurghusht" studies), Sun, Moon and 
starry sky. As this will only be feasible with a faster computer or at 
least more RAM (4 instead of the current 1.5 GiB), the rendering 
probably will not start before January 2012.

Nevertheless, preliminary studies done with smaller textures will also 
show up on YouTube...

...see you in Khyberspace!
