> I’m taking a similar approach in my project. The skybox I’m working on will feature an animated moon and a gas giant, adding some extra visual flair. Both planets will spin, and in addition, the gas giant will feature moving atmospheric currents. Normally, these motions are too subtle to be seen, but I’ll accelerate them for greater visual impact.

Sounds like they're attempting to create background imagery for a video game or movie or something. Maybe they're fine adjusting the colors just like they adjusted the wind speeds. But they should know that they're trading off accuracy.
