I'm not an expert, but i think there should be king of fog around 
jupiter, and the color shouldn't be as bright !

Thanks for the remarks. I'll correct it as soon as i have time (and as soon 
as I've read the chapter about fog...)

Wow, those are some big rocks in the ring there.  That close in, I think, 
orbiting objects wouldn't really be orbiting, at least not for long.  The 
biggest chunk of rock looks like it could be bigger than the whole solid 
core of the planet afaik.

The sun should be tremendously farther away/smaller, unless of course it's 
going nova, in which case we're already long since dead at the point in this 
picture.

Also, you have your brightest light source coming from outside the solar 
system.

Generally, views of objects in space are tremendously boring, so artistic 
license is required so do what you want with it - if realism ruins your 
plans.

That is a matter of perspective.  The Sun would look that large relative to
Jupiter if the camera were 26M km outward from Jupiter.  Of course, that
would imply a very narrow camera angle.  My major C/Cs about the Sun are
that it is too yellow, and not blindingly bright.

A better bet for deep space lighting would be to forego the second light
source and use a very low ambient, for example, set #default { finish {
ambient 0.01 } } at the start of the scene file.

Realism would have the default ambient somewhere around epsilon, the
background stars and the rocks all but invisible (no _Empire_Strikes_Back_
asteroid fields!), and the image of the Sun burning a hole in your computer
monitor.  The real artistry in the license is finding the best compromise.
