Inspired by the old E E "Doc" Smith Lensman novels where the space craft tear across the galaxy riding massive engine trails.

Planet rendered in Lightwave, using two distant lights one for the main planet body illumination the other a bright blue light to pick out the atmosphere. Planetary rings set to be invisible to camera but still able to cast their shadow on the planet.
