Beautiful bro!
EDIT: I think I figured out what techniques/brushes you used! :)
No brushes, at least, not for adding anything to the picture. It's roughly the same technique as in the Ultimate GIMP Planet Tutorial.
You start out with a photo of your choice, edit it into the planet by merging different images (if you wish anyway, sometimes 1 source image is enough) then you add a lens effect, grey-scale it and copy it to a new image where you add the colors, atmosphere glow and hmm... maybe spaceships if that's something you like to add. I for example added the sun.
So the way I made this image was: I took an image of some trees, stretched it so you got the base texture, the flowing lines. Then I looked up some photos of those storm formations and pasted that in.
After that I added the lens effect, added color,the starry background and then the sun.
It's worth mentioning though I did this at work while being slightly bored, and not really paying attention, so it's far from perfect. xD
Ah wow, because I thought those storms were a galaxy brush, seeing as I have one just like it :P
Nope, the galaxy brush in my opinion is a little squarish... Never really used it myself.
