Best way to create planet atmosphers?

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/Best way to create planet atmosphers?

I've tried a few methods, but none of them seem to look good or work correctly. Planets in freelancer had pretty good looking atmospheres, and I'd like to recreate a similar effect for my planets (which, even with cloud layers, still look very...not vivid).

Anyone know how they did the effect, or a way to create a similar look?
