Hello everybody!

I was doing a presentation of the Pluto-systen, an found the fifth moon Styx missing.

Is there an update to Celestia, where Styx is included?

Celesita 1.6.1 has an outdated Plutonian system that has not been updated, but I do have an ssc code that you can use to display both Styx and Kerberos in Celestia.

Code: Select all

# Standalone data for Pluto's two moons, Kerberos and Styx. They are not included in default Celestia.

"Kerberos:S-2011 P 1:P4" "Sol/Pluto"  
{
   Mesh "asteroid.cms"
   Texture "asteroid.jpg",
   Radius   9  
   # chaotic rotation, exact rotation period unknown
   EllipticalOrbit
   {
   Period      32.16756 
   SemiMajorAxis    57783 
   Eccentricity   0.003820
   Inclination    0.389 # inclination to Charon's orbit   
   }

   Albedo          0.5
}


"Styx:S-2012 P 1:P5" "Sol/Pluto"
{
   Mesh "asteroid.cms"
   Texture "asteroid.jpg"
   Radius   6  
   # like Kerberos, Styx has a chaotic rotation, but its exact rotation period is unknown
   EllipticalOrbit
   {
   Period      20.16155
   SemiMajorAxis    42656 
   Eccentricity   0.005787
   Inclination    0.809 # inclination to Charon's orbit   
   }

   Albedo          0.5
}

And no, Celestia never was updated after 1.6.1, but I highly recommend you get Celestia Origin. It does a complete upgrade to a Celestia installation. You can get it on the announcements section on the forums.
