Kepler-452 system (somewhat real)

My first real celestia addon, yet to be verified on motherlode. Phewwwww. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kepler-452b Backstory behind this. When I read news about K452B (Ascenti in this addon), I was like "384.843 days?" "Super-Earth?" Wow! When I fantasize about earth-like planet...

I know I am kinda dumb at this, but I was not expecting such elaborate answer

I didn't expect that maximum star distance will be so deeply buried in Celestia's engine.

Re: Stars don't show after 10s of millions of light years

Well, I managed to find that line using Notepad++.

I have all the source code, But how do I rebuild celestia?

If I simply restart it it doesn't work :eh:

Re: Stars don't show after 10s of millions of light years

I downloaded the corresponding src folder, but in the starsdb.cpp Notepad remade the lines, as always, and I can't find Line 48.

What text should I edit there? Like text around it or smt like that
