IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

First, I wanted to "build" a planet that *is* Saturn, but I had problems to make
a good representation, but when I made it blue, it was much better, so I kept
it blue.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

The rings are a simple disc, with onion pigment.

The ground is an isosurface.

Focal blur is used mainly because the standard anti aliasing didn't give a good
image: we could see an awful pixelized limit between the ground and the
planet.
