Celestia Forums

Today I wake up at 5:00am specialy to see it. 3 minutes 35 seconds after that the first one appeared, and 6 seconds after that, the second one, and the brightest.
Yes sir, the Shuttle and the ISS.
Enjoy(I dont remember how much time of exposure I used, but it is or 10 or 13 or 15 seconds).

Now that we can recreate one of the most famous scenes of the soon-to-become hexology, that is Luke Skywalker lokking at the double sun set in Tatooine, has anyone started doing that addon? Tatooine already exists in Celestia, so we just have to put it in a binary system...
Anyone wants to try?

I heard today that on an eclipse, the temperature drops enough to make clouds dessapear... but sometimes they dissapear just after the eclipse and not before...

Just wanted to tell that two horus ago an ocultation took place: it was the red gigant Antares ocultated by the Moon. I think it was not seen from the US neither Europe but it was seen here.

Two years ago 7 new stars appeared in our skys. Two years ago the Space Shuttle Columbia, the first one to go to space, was lost during re-entry, just 16 minutes before its scheduled landing at KSC, and with it, the lives of 7 braves men and women. http://www.astrosurf.org/lombry/Documents/sts107-cr...

How often do launch opportunities come along for Saturn missions? It depends: if you want to go directly to Saturn(or pass Jupiter in the midlle), you can do it almost any time.... BUT if you want to fly by many planets like Cassini did, and you want to getthere quickly... I dont really know. BTW: ...

It took so long because they wanted to make as much atmosphere science as they could, and for that they used 3 parachutes.
Normally it would have taken less time, like the MER rovers, that after 6 minutes of touching the atmosphere, were already bouncing in the surface...

Yes we are. There are two teams from each country that allways play thet cup, and then each year another pair of teams from each country. From Argentina there is allways Boca and River...

And again!!! Boca Juniors Champoion of The SouthAmerican Cup!!!!!!! The first game of the finals was in Bolivia, in Bolivar's(thats the team we won) stadium, at 2000m altitude and we lost 1-0. On friday we played in Boca's stadium and we won 2-0!!! We didnt have a good year, but we finished it very ...

Isn't AMOS-1 an Israeli Satellite?

Lets say I build the a time machine and I travel to the past. Suddenly I meet Isaac Newton and by mistake(or not :twisted: :lol: ) I kill him... What would happen??? We know that without him its impossible to build the time machine, fly to other planets and everything else... so what would happen? W...

BTW: If you want I can upload almost 20 short Boca song that I have and you will more or less understand what it is like in a game in the Bombonera...

I dont know how many people can get in the stadium, because more than half of it is for standing people. There are only a few stadiums in Argentina in which all the people are sitting. Besides that, its more fun in the standing part, you sing with the rest of the people and you enjoy the game in a d...

Boca were held to a scoreless draw by Instituto at the Chocolate Box Stadium. Boca played with one more player since 40th because "Miliki" Jim?nez was sent off. OK, maybe this is not the form of champions. (I don't think I'll set the video to record this one !) However the current league table afte...

Thanks praesepe! I am 20, no longer a teenager... Maybe someone can make a 3ds of those to put in Celestia, just for fun... TERRIER: The Argentinian league is divided in two, so you have two tournaments a year. and thats why you see so much on tv... In each tournament you have only 19 games. And thi...

I've been thinking about this for a long time: -Imagine Saturn with out the rings? It would be one of the most boring things to look at in the sky -Imagine Jupiter with out the cloud bands(it would be something similar to Saturn) and with out the galilean moons, also boring... -Imagine Mars clouded ...

Well, yes it would... if I lived in usa or in anyother country that celebrates it...
