Celestia Forums

Do you mean, Why Castor is only a single system in celestia? Well, if that is your question, I have updated Castor myself to the best of scientific accuracy, would you like my stc. file? I have also done Delta Cygni, a triple star system.

Do you have a story to back this system up? I have found that people on this forum who give their addons stories get a much larger response! :wink: Your story could be anything, a question, a physics proposition/question, an actuall story, or simply a good addon to make screenshots for your desktop....

The link has expired, can you repost it?

:? Unless I'm out of the loop, Gregorian, is not a language... Are you talking about the gregorian calandar, gregorian chant, time period? LOL... If this is a langauge, please tell me; I am majoring in Linguistics :wink: I have been interested in converting Celestia to Arabic, PM or email me with yo...

This system looks awesome... I especially LOVE the second planet!!!! Let me know when this is finished... I must have it!!! LOL

Awesome!

Hi, I ran into a problem with Celestia textures. I looked at trhe venus textures, and they look red with volcanoes. I downloaded a texture that alos looked red, with volcanoes. For some reason, My venus is just a big yellowish ball. I will attach a picture. Does anyone know how to fix this, and mak...

Thanks for the help! After a correction of these errors, I have a perfectly working Trinary System.

Here's a couple links on the specs of the system

:D Thank you so much! I'll see if this format solves the problem. 8) On a scientific note... I was referring to Delta Cygni's stellar companions. Delta Cygni B is an F1 dwarf with a mean separation of 157 AU. Delta Cygni C is a K star that appears to move with the system with a 2.5 degree separation...

:D I am trying to add the companions of Delta Cygni to Celestia. I create the .stc file, but the stars do not show up? Is it because Delta Cygni is not in the "nearstars" .stc file? Delta Cygni is only in the data file for stars. Can you add stellar companions to stars that only occure in the "nears...

I was thinking of making a detailed addon of a single atom. I am just making it a new planet around Sol. When I type in an appropriate radius, the atom does not appear in Celestia. When I change it to a size of a few miles, it shows up. What's the smallest an object can be in Celstia?

Damn! I never noticed that before! I have a simular addon with a planet orbiting 2 stars and the atmosphere is only rendered for the Alpha star? I have no idea how to fix it...

How about making the Addon yourself. They are really easy. You don't need anything fancy... If you have any questions, the celestia community is here for you. This way, you can make it the way you imagined it, in all of it's uniqueness. Note me when you've started! I would like to see it because I h...

I prefer the points as well, and I have my magnitude set at like 12 or 13 so there's hundreds of points everywhere you look. To me, it feels the most real, especialy when you just fly around the galaxy. LOL.

Ni Hao I don't know what I can do. But I speak a little spanish, and now, I'm intensively learning Arabic, and a little Mandarin Chinese on the side. I have a friends who speak French, Italian, Portugese, and Vietnamese. While Arabic is very difficult to romanize, if Celestia can support Arabic scri...

I watched it and LOVED it. A couple weeks ago I also picked up a copy of the book "Expedition" (recomended by various users). The book has woderfull illustrations, etc. It'll be great for a coffee table book. I liked the discovery channel documentary's story much better and just the general presenta...

Today is the day, the Alien Planet has been updated with the Star System information. Darwin IV is actually the closest planet to Darwin A, LOL.

Or you could simply give your two planets the exact same orbital parameters, except, make them orbit opposite of eachother. As in, they are always on opposite sides of their orbit. and just create a barycenter for the planets to orbit.

I plan to create a new star. does that count? ;) Umm? Not quite sure what you mean here? Darwin IV is a fictitious planet, as well as is parent suns. The system information will become available on the Alien Planet website on the 29th of April. Then on May 9th, detailed info about the planet Darwin...
