Celestia Forums

After watching First Contact the other day I was wondering whether anyone had tried to create the possible Earth shown there?

How do I give it clouds? Should I just put say some clouds in and then rename them moonclouds or something?

No sorry what I meant is can I please change all of what was written there to turn into the ~Moons orbit, so it's still the moon, because that is from a Venus add-on, but I'm trying to turn it into a terraformed moon one.

Ok thank you, just a general query do you know what I would have to change CustomOrbit "vsop87-venus" EllipticalOrbit { Period 0.6152 SemiMajorAxis 0.7233 Eccentricity 0.0068 Inclination 3.3947 AscendingNode 76.681 LongOfPericenter 131.533 MeanLongitude 181.979 } RotationPeriod 5832.479839 Obliquity...

Thanks, but my brain hurts now

Sorry when I said that I did mean that it still didn't work

ElChristou, I have copied it to my HD

Do you wish to install a workaround? 4: If I cli...

It asks me whether I want to install a 'workaround', and when I click yes it says 'Fatal Error' Please help, I think that may be the problem.

I downloaded it from this address
http://www.celestiaproject.net/celestia/download.html
Its a Mac OS X Version 10.4.11

I have just downloaded this wonderful system onto my Mac OS X, but when I go on it it asks me whether I want to download something, but it won't let me, so I then quit, go back on, after a few seconds it freezes, please help me
