Hello. I'd like to ask the author to realize atmosphere transition and darkness during solar eclipses, when shadow of the moon falls on the planet. In this case ground goes dark, but sky remains blue. Please, see this topic for details. Atmoshpere isn't dark during Solar Eclipse. Why? Thanx.

It's not a question of right or wrong. It's a question of what's feasible in Celestia. I suspect that an accurate simulation of sky brightness at the eclipse boundary would be difficult to implement. - Hank Everything is possible ;) But scripts are useless in this situation. To realize this idea au...

Note that the entire atmosphere doesn't go dark during a solar eclipse, only that portion of the atmosphere within the lunar shadow. And there is a gradual transition at the edge of the shadow. Of course, I know it :) But it is certainly possible to write a script which checks if the observer is wi...

But in Celestia Solar Eclipse isn't so beautiful :( Even in the middle of eclipse sky stays blue... This is the photo taken during...
