Celestia Forums

While both NASA and ESA have been quick to disseminate photos from Titan, I have seen comparably little other data, in particular from Cassini's radar equipment which is supposed to help mapping Titan's topography. There were some graphs showing radar measurements made during the October flyby, but...

How can I solve that one? I don't know very much of graphics. I'm sure that has been explained before. can you re-direct me?

PLanet generator is also a good base for random planets

Terrorbye, What you are experiencing is a shock from false expectations. I remeber it hjappened the same a while ago when Independence day cama at about the same time as Tim Burton's Mars Attacks. Many people went ino the teather expecting to see another independence day, but when tehy found this sa...

big-bang

No one less apt to answer to this post than me, but I feel we do need a new phoebe texture (and a Iapetus one as well). Just to add for the brave soul who takes the challenge: I just read that phoebe is about as dark as Iapetus' dark side, so.. does that mean we get to have a black objet in celestia...

... separate forums forces people to decide which one is appropriate. I expect that not everybody would label new threads - noteably newcomers are rarely aware of such conventions. Yo know what? I agree. I browswed trough the post and did't really read it all. Imagine a newcomer (not unlike me) hav...

Possibility? To phra?prase the NASA guys "If thta's not liquid, I don't know what it is"!

Well Definetly light reacher the surface of titan, the question is What wavelenght? Titan's surface is supposed to be 1000 dimmer than earth's. I just cheched ESA's Homepage http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Cassini-Huygens/index.html and the images are B/W. Has anybody been coloring these ones?

have you seen mine ti was painstakingly peased together from cassini and i am working on an update that has better detail in the south Yes I have seen it at it's wonderful. Very good job! I can't wait to see your shot at Iapetus. And speaking of Iapetus, I don't know much abou this, so pardon my as...

Vincent Said: I visited your site and I found your textures very interesting. Would it be possible to make them available with ftp download ? I ahave a similar problem: I am behind a proxy and cannot use E-mule/donkey. Perhaps you could upload them tho the motherlode? No seas gacho, danos chanza.

I have a different (ocassional) problem with this add on: sometimes when I install either the original pack or some add on (deth star 2, Star destroyer) I get the name of the object in the menu but when I go to it I just get an empty location in space. Why is this?

Great Idea for a tread guys... but I'm getting 404's in the links.

They are supossed to be nearly invisible. As oppsed to saturn, the Jovian rings are really faint. The Voyager saw them on it's way out of the Jovian system, glowing faintly on the sun. If you look at a picture of jupiter you won't see rings, unless it's purposely overexposed to see them.

Another thing that could do is to name the planets like real scientists do, namig them by the parent star and then assinging a letter to it. For instance in the Cancri System you have Cancri b, cancri c and Cancri d. Or you could name them according to features, like the explorers on earth named the...

I'm sorry to ask this question , it will probably strike you as silly... but I Have no idea what DDS texures are made with or how to edit them. I need to edit them because many add ons have them (like blue marble or green mars) and I think they're probably 2K, because my card won't show them. I had ...

In my opnion, Celestia is centralizing towards the motherlode anyway, so I belive the forum should be there too. As I mentioned there, the motherlode should be your one-stop site to the celstia universe. But that's just me. On the other hand mirrored sites is not a bad idea.... it would avoid the du...

Thank you very much selden, I will try the link (altough my computer is in the purgatory right now, It will be a couple of weeks till I can try it). Regarding the NVIDIA Driver, I got it from the manufaturer (well, not quite, their link was dead and hey sent to the righ ine on the NVIDIA site) and i...

Ahem, I woldn't go as far as to have a lading spot for flying saucers (that would have to be a lot more visible) but as regarding life in titan, there are some who thing that some form of life may exist, even if it isn't life as we know it. They could for instance drink methane instead of water and ...

Ok. Here is the thing: I've tried Clestia in 3 PCs now and ... In the first one (win98), I have to run in Lo-res mode because it can't take anything else... and everything goes well enough. I can see all textures and stuff animation is smooth, ect In the second one (winXP), I can run in mid res (ani...
