Exploring the Atlantica Galaxy
I've created a material that is used for atmosphere when the player is traveling through outer space.
The actual atmosphere is active only when the player character is in the planet's sphere of gravity.
This should allow me to have atmospheres for thousands of planets in the galaxy.

Planetary Atmosphere
The planetary atmosphere is still a work in progress.
When moving at extreme speeds, the atmosphere lags behind the planet's location. I might add a translucent sphere around the planet when the player is in space, and then replace it with the atmosphere when the player is in the planet's gravity sphere.
I also need to make the atmosphere less transparent.

Volumetric Nebula
I've scaled the volumetric nebula at 1 billion on the X, Y, and Z float vector nodes.
Unfortunately, it's too small to see and it disappears after moving about 500 to 1,000 km away from it.
When I try to scale it to 10 billion it doesn't render at all. My planets are one-tenth the size of Earth and my stars are one-tenth the size of Sol.
I need to find a way to scale up the nebulas much, much more significantly.
