Fog is actually somewhat to find. The secret? Binary planet eclipses.
Park yourself in the shadow of a planet in a tight binary pair and you'll barely be able to see 50 meters in front of you thanks to the fog. It's creepy as hell.
My theory is that it's a sort of high tide of dust, being influenced by the gravity of the second planet. Either that, or the graphics engine doesn't know what to do with such a huge shadow in what should be daylight and it freaks out and makes haze instead.

Its always great to find a place that has some mist going on, from planets with a gentle mist in Canyons to larger planets with a dense mist in Craters or the more extreme cases where its pretty much the whole planet covered in mist. Lovley places like this is part of the reason why I'm exploring
Holy Mother of God, just look at the surface color variety in that pre-Horizons video!!!!!! That's awesome!!!! We've never had planets looking that great in the game, not that I can remember, and certainly nothing even remotely close since 2.2 especially. Why not, clearly it was there once??!!?!!??
Plus, I want whatever camera feature David is using in that video too!
As for the foggy planets, yeah I've come across a few too, they are almost always icy planets or RIW's, and they almost always look spectacular.
But timing is everything with these foggy worlds, catch them at the wrong time and you'd never even know what you were missing...
