And perhaps, some of them have a planet...with live ?
Wouah!!!

On my PC, the Earth becomes red, but only on OpenGL 2.0 mode

About the Sun,

With this version, the Runar Thorvaldsen's texture does not work well

For the moment, all I have seen, in some movies because their software are not available, are low resolution textures of the moon, Earth, Mars with few stars in the sky and some glass lens effects. But no galaxies, no nebulae, no saturn rings and so and... The main interest seems to be their use of ...

No, the August 24th 2006 the IAU defined officially only 8 major planets :
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune
and 4 minor planets :
Ceres, Pluto, Charon and "2003 UB313" (First called Xena and finally Eris ?)

Quid of Sedna, "2005FY9", Orcus, Quaoar etc...?

With Celestia 1.5.0pre1 from CVS (Dec 7th) - I have no problem with all the URL from ElChristou if I check orbits in the "View options" menu in front of "planets" - I see Toti's example Geographos orbit problem - I see Toti's example Pluto barycenter orbit segmentation - I see Cham's example Pluto-C...

So, what colour could be Venus to respect all your "point of view"?

Hi Danielj,

Did you click on the blue text "Download file" at the first line of the page ?

Take a look at Motherlode to see examples could be helpful

No levels 11 and 12 in the 1.4.1pre2 too

Do you plan to include the sounds patch in a future release ?
That seems to be a plus for Celestia.

Very nice splash screen

But, no levels 11 and 12 ?

Yes, read perhaps these topics

Salut Cosmic_boy,

You need also to enable the "Clouds" in the render menu to see the "Coronal mass ejection" effects.

Yes

Take a look at this thread

Happy New Year, Celestia works already like that! :D It's not true to say "Alternate textures" work only if you modify "solarsys.ssc". If you have downloaded some addons, perharps you have seen they contain files with extensions like .ssc, .ctx... On Windows PC, addon files are usually unziped in a ...

Now, I use NVIDIA driver 81.98, Celestia 1.4.0 "final" and I haven't problem with this Jestr texture and OpenGL 2.0 rendering path.

Andrea,
With the 1.4.0 final version and NVIDIA driver 81.98, I have the same shadows problem You have.
But no longer red Earth

About the NVIDIA driver 81.98

On my PC, the last version of Celestia 1.4.0 works well.
No longer red Earth ?????

Happy Christmas and Happy new Year

I made again some tries with the 81.98 version of NVIDIA driver and the OpenGL 2.0 Rendering path. Yes, the problem with this version seems to come from Earth-Specular maps... but not only :!: If I disable specular maps, Earth is blue (with normal map, BlueMarble or JMII tiles) but if I check the bo...

Thanks Fridger, I will stay with my old 78.01
