19P/Borrelly
This addon adds a full xyzv trajectory (1600-2500) for comet 19P/Borrelly There is nothing particularly incredible about Borrelly's orbit, as most distant encounters with Jupiter only slightly change its orbital inclination, with few perihelion/aphelion changes. In September 2001, the Deep Space 1 m...

67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
This addon adds a full xyzv trajectory (1600-2500) for comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko For many centuries, 67P remained on a orbit whose perihelion was beyond the orbit of Mars, until an encounter with Jupiter in 1959 defined its perihelion between the orbits of Earth and Mars. Has made a series of ...

Re: Comets for Celestia
A small correction in the Wild 2 ssc file, the "BlendTexture true" parameter was added, so that the specified color of the comet is filed with the texture. If you already have the addon installed, simply replace the ssc file with fixed. Remember to delete the old ssc so you don't create du...

81P/Wild
This addon adds a full xyzv trajectory (1600-2500) for comet 81P/Wild (2) Originally this comet orbited the Sun between the orbits of Jupiter and Neptune, until a close encounter with Jupiter in September 1974 brought it into the inner Solar System. On January 2, 2004, NASA's Stardust spacecraft col...

This addon adds 30 fictional rogue planets scattered across the Milky Way. Each rogue planet is at random positions in the galaxy, with varying distances, from the nearby of the Solar System to thousands of light years away. Each has a different radius, oblatness, and period of rotation. Some contai...
