I don't know if it's still valid (that post was over a year ago) but if it is couldn't you use a 'special glow texture' that was just a solid white sphere the size of the planet to get a uniform glow?
i have no idea how to do that. help?
i also thought of a single particle in the size of the planet with a suiting texture. i would have to place it in the middle of the earth and then somehow render it before it, but behind everything else.
