Here's a fake solar eclipse, using emissive media.

This is a really nice eclipse!  Thanks for posting it.

Now it looks like you need an alpha render, so that later you can change the
background.

Sorry, you'll have to explain what you mean by 'shine' a bit better then.

Thanks EagleSun!

Actually, this picture looks quite different on my monitor at work. The
background should be a very deep blue, almost black. (My monitor at home is
a bit strange). You may need to do a gamma correction of around 0.8 to see
it the way it was designed.

That's a good idea, but it renders so fast that it can easily be re-rendered
as desired.

An eclipse simulator in POV... there's an interesting thought...
