Change 1: The colors and textures of the planets and moons

The planets and moons were given new surfaces to have them look more realistic. Free texture files where added to all the planets and to the moons Then using bump mapping, the planets and moons were further altered to create the appearance of craters.

Change 2: The Sun

The color of the sun was first changed to an orange, yellow color. Then on top of that a fractal feature was added to it to create the appearance of the earth bubbling.

Change 3: Planet Movement

In the animation I also had some planets jump up and down as they rotated around the sun. This was done by changing the y-axis of the planets alternating between a height of 5 and 0 at various keyframes throughout the animation.
