Assuming 1 POV unit per foot:

difference{
           sphere{<0,0,0>,12 
                  scale <1,1200,1>
                 } 

           cylinder{<0,0,0>,<0,600.1,0>, 12.1}

          // Texture/Media stuff goes here. 

          } // End of difference.  


I think that Bob H did one of these (or something similar):
