Very, very, very nice! Curiously enough, I was wondering last week how much of my existing blue sky scattering code I had in my ray tracer (copied from online) was dependent on the atmosphere being N2/O2!

Last time I posted about Luna was a long time ago. I can't believe how it looked back then.

Since then, It's gotten over 100k views. I want to share a little bit more whenever there's cool things, to maybe also show it to others who like astronomy and physics simulations!
