Celestia Forums

3 recommendations for the book, and none for the original radio play, so I guess I'm definitely reading the book. Thanks, guys!

Well, the book that I have contains all the books in the series, so I'll be sure to do so. Thanks for the suggestion!

I understand that many of you are quite familiar with The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy , so maybe some of you can help me with a little problem I'm having: I recently bought the book version of the Guide, but I also found the original 6 episodes of the radio play, and I'm well aware that the boo...

This is pretty irrelevant, too, but didn't The War of the Worlds begin with green "meteors?"

Well, now that we have the biological effects down, how about we speculate on the effect on our technology? From what I can see, our computers, TVs, etc. would be on the fritz for a little while, plunging us into an era of boredom and lack of technology, at least until we replace any magnetic compon...

Ahh, this is exactly what I wanted. Thank you, Bob.

P.S. That's an excellent tour.

Can anyone give me a code and texture for Jupiter's rings?

Very well put. Excellent job!

Cookies and parasitic life forms...what a great combo!

So far, it works beautifully. Thanks!

Is there any chance of there being music and sound effects in future realeses of Celestia to further create the effect of spaceflight? Maybe even a way to pilot a ship?

Ooh... In that case, I think I'll go with patience .

Okay...it's great that you guys are further improving on the comet tails, but does anybody remember this:

Anyway, those tails look much better. Can anybody show me how to apply them?

Wow, I come back nearly a week later to find a 3pg thread! Anyway, those tails look much better. Can anybody show me how to apply them? And by the way, I found a few comet pics: http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/newsdesk/archive/releases/2004/52/ http://wsx.lanl.gov/WebPub/images/comet-hale-bopp_wurd...

Does anybody know of a more realistic texture for comet tails?

Yes, unfortunately there is a lot of trash on the internet, but then again that's what you get when pea-brains get into the media....
Fortunately, I doubted this was possible or I would have to smack myself in the head all day long saying, "Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!"

Well, in that case it sounds like the e-mail I read was exaggerating (and possibly outdated). I doubted that Mars could be so big and bright anyway, unless it was 150+ times bigger than the Moon (and it definitely isn't), which would mean that it would appear as big as the Sun, which, in the case of...

I heard recently that Mars is going to be closer to Earth than it has in thousands of years and that it will be as big as the full moon by the end of the month. Did anybody else hear something like this?

After reading through all the posts, I learned quite a bit about European cuisine, and all the toppings that can be used on hot dogs, sausages, etc. What also amazed me is how many posts there were! I didn't even expect to get a second page in a space forum! (Looks like I should follow my impulses a...
