Here is an animation rendered in Blender 2.7, with the internal renderer, where the camera orbits around the earth and then pulls back for when the earth explodes. The video is rendered at 60 frames per second, but Youtube will only show the original size at this frame-rate, so there is also a 1280x720 resolution version that was uploaded along with this one. The camera does move a bit strangely before the explosion, but I didn't feel like sitting by for a few days waiting for the scene to render again.
