Would it be possible to create a planet with atmosphere that:
- bends the blue part of a light source to be perpendicular to the surface
of the planet.

The effect would be that from the surface of the planet one would see a blue
sky. In an animation of a rocket-launch it would be possible to see trough
the window and notice that the view would gradually change from blue to
black.

Maybe using MegaPov it could be done.  The photons with light dispersion
through media.  But I haven't tried it.
You're asking is a less traveled group here, povray.general would be the
best place.

myself i'm very interested in doing something like that because i want to do
perhaps an stanius V launch for apollo 11 or something similar to that, the
hard part probably will be animiating it. and keeping the render time down
to reasonable level.  i have a powerhouse computer but unfortually i rarely
get the time to render anything for more than 24 hours before i have to
pause it for something else.

SkyPov does wavelength-dependant Rayleigh scattering
