Planet glow atmosphere

Unity Engine
1

Hi,

Anyone has any idea on how to do this in Unity ?
The effect i’m talking about, can be seen in this Nexus 2 technology video , it’s in the first seconds of the video :

It’s basically a glow around the sphere of the planet, but the glow is only visible when atmosphere is being lighted by the sun(star), so a normal glow can’t be used on this.
Any clues ?

thanks,
Bruno

Im not a Unity user but my guess would be you would have to write an custom shader. However like I said im not a user so it may have one built in.
