Two Lego renderings. The media for the earth is from Christoph Hormann's earth
model, Legos from LDraw + Bricksmith.

Yay, bring on the lego!
Both superb renders, but I particularly like the first one - very close to an
actual orbital photo. Apart from the constituents of the orbiter, at least!

Thanks! Yes, it's very close. The original is composed better, but it really
needs to be oblique since at the same angle, you see right through this model.

One thing which makes it so realistic is that stars are not visible.
(Stars are not visible in actual orbital photos because the exposure
time of the camera has been set to photograph the brightly-sunlit
satellite/Earth, rather than the stars, which are much, much fainter.)
This is the first space rendering that I can remember that uses this
level of realism. Usually space renderings go the unrealistic Hollywood way.

I'll assume you're not referring to the Legos! Indeed, though. I was horrified
to see that this was one of the official desktop pictures for Mac OS X:

Duh. You're cheating, this is *definitely* a photograph...! ;)
