Celestia Forums

Hello,

to see the relative tracks of moons from a position above a planet is great, but I would really like to see the heliocentric moon orbits from above the sun. Is that possible?

I searched the forum and the User Guide but couldn't find anything about it.

Thanks.

Christian

Great!

Viel Gl?ck! from Germany.

May your marriage be truly celestial (pun intended).

And speech recognition? What about that?;-)

OK, I didn't know the GUI would be redesigned.
So I'll be patient.

@ Kendrix Fine. A list is certainly faster than boxes. @ Fridger (& Chris?) I would say that Celestia has run out of "mnemonic" keys already. To toggle the object labels I don't use the keys because - being an occasional user of Celestia - they have no resemblance to their function. The same app...

@ Kendrix and Fridger For educational purposes it would be great to be able to switch single constellations on and off or at least highlight them somehow. Checkboxes may be good while using the mouse, but if it has to go fast - for example during a presentation - finding the right one out of 88 migh...

@ Matt: Thank you for the information. Funny: The term Doppelganger is of German origin. Here are some more links, that should be sufficient for a starter. I think in Germany Nibiru was called Nemesis by the media. http://www.crystalinks.com/nibiru.html http://home.sol.no/~kjole/ncca/anunnaki.html h...

As far as I know it was the Greeks who proposed a second earth on the other side of the sun. But Clarion does not sound Greek. Can you tell me where it comes from?
And what gravitational effect would an earth on the opposite side have on the whole solar system?

Varuna and 2001 KX76, too.

Kleopatra looks really nice.

On the 5th of May 2000 the 5 visible planets met within 26°. Especially nice is the Moon with Saturn, Mars + Jupiter on the 6th of April. In modern history the best alignment of the 5 planets+Moon+Sun (which means it was in fact invisible) was on the 4th Feb 1962 (all within 17°). 12 days later ther...

Ctrl+X works with Radeon and it looks much better.
No problem with the performance.

I agree. It's a simulator, not a museum. So times should be correct, too.
We could place a nice spaceship near Jupiter.
Maybe around 2010?

WOOOW! Incredible! They'll be jealous at NASA. They will say: we shot a picture of Titan's shadow on saturn. Chris will say: And I saw the eclipse from saturn's surface. But from version 1.2.2 on I think it will become really important to be able setting my point of view on the earth's surface exact...

thank you for the NASA link, Hank.
The pics are even free for educational purposes.
Well, I admit I haven't downloaded yet the 650 MB
