In Winter 2011 expansion they are also making the solar system backgrounds actually modeled. This means the black holes, nebulae etc visible on the sky are actually ingame 3D objects you see from some angle.

I don't think they will have much game-mechanical effects, tho, so if you are after that, no luck.
