Teskooano Blue Marble release adds atmospheric planets

The space simulation project Teskooano has released its Blue Marble update, giving planets atmospheres for the first time. Worlds now show glowing skies at the limb of the globe, clouds drifting on planet-specific winds, and storms spiralling around low-pressure systems. Speeding up time makes the weather run like a satellite loop, and planets follow real axial tilts and seasons. The early reaction is small but positive among space and game development enthusiasts.
Why now: A new release adding realistic atmospheric and weather effects to a space simulator is of interest to space and gamedev communities.
