Assuming Charon was formed in a similar way as our moon, it could have been the impact of a "dwarf planetesimal" or large asteroid. The impact debris could have formed Charon. It also *might* (although unlikely) explain the drastic color (and thus probably material) differences on Pluto's ...

Albireo! A binary system that looks very cool!

Yes, I used Venus to create the gold lines on both moons, it has a nice effect in my opinion when added with some saturation. Also thanks for the feedback,I'll fix those things. Also I do have facplanet and that other generator, but for some reason I can't compile them Would it be possible for you (...

I have some inside the addon itself, I'll upload them in a minute.

This includes the Canopus system from the book "Dune" along with hundreds of generated asteroids and comets. It includes six planets and eight moons. Information about the planets was taken from the Dune wikia page but was altered to be more physically accurate. Also includes the white hol...

It might just be my compiler (GCC through Code::Blocks) or my OS (Win7 64), but whenever I compile planet.c and run the resulting exe a command prompt window pops up and a second later it starts beeping and flashing seemingly random symbols.

Here's the new version with quite a few working billboards: http://www.zshare.net/download/77700251e3c058ae/

I have a new computer running Windows 7 with 16:9 too. The way I fix that is pressing the maximize button.

Thanks, I was wondering why none of my 3D models showed texture.

Also, I'm working on a new version which has more galaxies, corrected axes and angles and corrected Right Ascension.

NOTE: I will post the new version tomorrow. It includes many billboards.

Okay thanks. I'm going to update the links in a minute.

Thanks!

Okay, in that case, what would you recommend?

I am developing two addons which will add stars and planets and galaxies not listed in Celestia or on the Motherlode.

I'm using Windows 7 64 bit and have had the following bugs:
1. Normalmaps (even non-VTs) show as well as the main texture (there is a purple-ish tint).
2. For some reason, the Moon's NormalMap shows (as a NormalMap AND a texture) on Earth.
3. Earth's atmosphere is completely white.

I just did, you should add more units of measurement and allow for an effect of the orbiting body on the period of the orbit.

A few of the times I used yours (which is in my Celestia main directory ), other times I used one located at

Cool! What's your site's URL?

I agree! I have absolutely no idea how you made those textures so unique, the best I can do in photoshop is make a bunch of blurs.
