How do you make a Realistic ...

[artmarci]

...Earth and Space bv:
When your Meteor or something else enters the Earth...how do you do that...make that view in space so realistic?(not the meteor-enters-earth-view i know that but more that Realistic out of space look)

I now that you can make a flat 3/4 poligon circel and drop a realistic image map texture from the Earth on it and put some points in the space and a image map Nebula and have that million dollar view in 3d but um...

Thats not realy what i am looking for...How do you realy create a realistic 3d Earth and a realistic 3d Space Atmosphere (with Nebulas and allla that in 3d)?
Are there any Good Tuts about that:(?

I whould realy apreciate it :D!!!
Thanks for reading
cya!
