 First we have to create an actual mesh for our planet. Most often people use UV-spheres for this purpose, however unsightly texture distortions occur, especially around the poles, because of the UV unwrap. Those distortions can be prevented by using a cube and moving the vertexes so that they lie on the surface of a sphere. That way there are only very minor distortions. Confused yet? Good. I'll show you now how to all that, step by step:
 ||First start Blender and select the pre-created cube and press '''TAB''' to enter edit mode and choose all vertexes/edges/faces.||test||
 ||Next press '''CTRL + E''' and from the pop-up choose the option '''Mark seam'''.||test||
 ||Next, switch to '''UV Face Select''' mode, press '''U''' and select '''Unwrap'''. In order to spare you the time fiddling about with this, here's a blend file with all steps done until this point.||test||
