Celestia Forums

In Celestia Origin only moons of asteroids always have the "moon" class, because asteroids cannot have really large objects in their orbits (always less than 400 kilometers in diameter but most often less than 100). This is done for the convenience of the user. However, classical/dwarf pla...

Added a new version of "ViDiBa" (Virtual Discrete Bases) with support for subsections and descriptions of categories of minor planets.

SevenSpheres < I must say that it was very untimely.

The parameters of the hypothetical Planet Nine have been updated according to assumption of its influence on the meteoroid CNEOS 2014-01-08.

Added new moon of Uranus (S/2023 U 1) and two new moons of Neptune (S/2002 N 5, S/2021 N 1).

My appeal personally to DaveBowman2001 . We all really appreciate how much work you put into improving Celestia. But now there are so many new addons, old and new versions, that the search for something interesting turns into (sorry) a walk through a garbage dump. :insane: Some kind of systematizati...
