FYI, i use this global lights params + sky sphere. the sky sphere evolution
function should provide a dark blue shift and a dark red shift, with the blue
overtaking all azimuths. still reflecting where to plug the clock variable on
the sky sphere since my math skills are a bit "rusty". i will try to come up
with a solution but any help appreciated of course !

#declare night_factor = 0.6;

light_source { <4000,2000,10000>, rgb <4,4,4>/(1 + clock*0.1)
    parallel
    adaptive 1
    jitter
            }

#declare clouds = plane{<0,1,0>,14 hollow  //

 texture{
  pigment {color rgb<0.1,0.35,0.8>*0.8 transmit 0.95}
  //finish {ambient 0  diffuse 0}
  finish {ambient 1  diffuse 1}

 } // end texture 1

  texture{
   pigment { bozo turbulence 0.75
    octaves 6  omega 0.7 lambda 2
    color_map {
     [0.0  color rgb <0.95, 0.95, 0.95> ]
     [0.05  color rgb <1, 1, 1>*1.25 ]
     [0.15 color rgb <0.85, 0.85, 0.85> ]
     [0.55 color rgbt <1, 1, 1, 1>*1 ]
     [1.0 color rgbt <1, 1, 1, 1>*1 ]
                   } // end color_map
    translate< 3, 0,-1>
    scale <0.3, 0.4, 0.2>*300
           } // end pigment
   finish {ambient 0 diffuse 0}
                } // end texture 2

        scale 10000
      }
