How are the rings of Uranus and Neptune (Jupiter is depicted without rings) in Celestia Origin different from those in vanilla Celestia?

Does the colored Venus texture map ever exist as a separate texture map, or is there some kind of code that gives it its color?

Is Celestia Origin compatible with 1.7?

What's the proper way to install Celestia Origin prior to v.14 on Celestia 1.7 and have the features menu show up? Which thread is it in?

Celestia Origin>Celestia.

Which thread? By the way, why can't the evolution of the Solar System beyond the Continental Drift and Dying Solar System features be added? At least the formation of the Moon would be nice.

I tried to download Celestia Origin v13 onto Celestia 1.7, but the features menu didn't show up.

Have you ever heard of the Rare Earth hypothesis by Peter Ward and Donald Brownlee before? According to Ward and Brownlee, microbial life may be common in the universe, but complex life may actually be rare, both in space and time.

Will the next release depict the evolution of the Solar System's planets besides the Continental Drift and Dying Solar System features (such as the formation of the Moon)?

It's such a shame that the Solar System evolution addon texture pack was put on hiatus. All we ever get of this is the Continental Drift feature on Celestia Origin.

Where does the color for Venus' surface texture come from? Too bad SevenSpheres decided to put his Solar System evolution addon development on hiatus.

Actually, I mean the color surface texture of Venus. And also, the continental drift-like feature for the other Solar System objects would be like to show what the Solar System would probably look like at different life stages. And by the way, what are "phantom copies?"

Why don't the rings of Jupiter, Uranus, and/or Neptune ever overlap those planets' equators nor cast shadows onto their surfaces? How do you get the Venus color texture anyway (the default texture is gray)? Should there ever be a continental drift-like feature for the other Solar System objects (bes...

How do you make the state/province borders appear?

Why did you put the entire Solar System evolution addon pack on hiatus? What textures representing the Solar System's planets life stages (besides continental drift for the Earth) were going to be part of this addon?

So, Neptune's default texture was redesigned so that it is based on the 2020 photos, right? Looks like you're trying to pull off a Smash Ultimate Zelda cast (due to their designs all being based on different game each: Link-BOTW, Sheik-original design based on Sheikah set from BOTW, Zelda-ALBW, Youn...

I finally got it right this time: I have to copy all of Celestia Origin's content and paste it in a folder containing the Vanilla Celestia, and then actually merge their content together.

Yes.

The default (vanilla) Celestia folder, or the one that came with Origins?

Which step needs to be done correctly to avoid the white sky problem?
