I did this in softimage entirely.

What i did is :

-create a sphere surface which has earth texture map with a water texture map plugged in the mask of the layer. this is only to make the earth not have any highlight(only the ocean).

-sphere for clouds

-sphere for atmosphere which was dielectric/incidence shader to always appear -when the surface is hit by a light and not in the back when the earth has no light.

-a sphere for the glow.

-the stars were created with ice

how do you make this in houdini?

thanks a lot. :)

here is a tutorial on materials. see the rest of peter's lessons for the basics on modeling a sphere, setting up lights, and rendering with mantra.
