Can anyone guess why this render made me cry?

Antialiasing?

Now I can see it!
You are crying, because you'll never compare your render with the real
thing?

BOOM! Oh how I wish all you guys's comments were true and that I was
joking... unfortunately, Jeberger guessed correctly (sortof...)
I found a parameter that can lead to a perfect render of earth, it's called
"sample". I entered some blow-out number and clicked on "Run" to render
the image. And yes, I forgot to turn on anti-alias.
Despite its small size, this render took 1 HOUR to render a simple 256^2
image!
This gets worse...
I'm working on a movie where the screen resolution will be 1280 x 720.
Assume I don't need to anti-alias (which I do), I'll render a single frame
for about 14 hours! Since the scene should be about 2 minutes long, where
the frame rate will be 24 fps, that's going to take me 40 THOUSAND HOURS!
In simple terms, this translates to 1,687.5 days, or 4 years and 7 months..
assuming optimal and continuous rendering conditions 24x7 on a 2.6 GHz
system!

Because it took forever and you realize you want a different part of the
planet showing?
Because you forgot the stars? (Don't worry--stars are actually too
faint to see in a picture in which the earth is only this bright.)
Because it isn't your render, but you wish it were? (kidding!)
Regards,
John
