			I'm thinking there could be some sort of foreground but how could that be procedurally generated? I mean it could be but would it even be good enough to use?  Roses are #FF0000
 Violets are #0000FF

			Ah, the rotate stars does that. But I could rename it.
 
Also this thing renders perfectly at incredible resolutions. I tried a 10,000 by 10,000 and zoomed in full res and it looked amazing before FF crashed    Roses are #FF0000
 Violets are #0000FF

			The trick to having realistic atmosphere I figured out, is to have a haze color and an atmosphere color. The haze sits a lot lower and is additive to the atmosphere. You get rich blends further down  Roses are #FF0000
 Violets are #0000FF
