Where can I find super-high-resolution earth textures?

Look in the Texture Foundry

Ok, I downloaded the Newearth3K file from the new post.

There are four files:

lights-aurora4k.dds
NewEarth4KBump.png
NewEarth8k.dds
New-Earth-Clouds.dds

Where do they belong?

(I'm new in celestia, si I don't know much yet)

please have a look at previous posts in the forum...

Hello Tuvok, and welcome to Celestia

Well to use these Texture
1: put all the texture file into the MEDRES folder in the TEXTURES folder, of Celestia.

2: edit the SOLASYS.ssc file in the DATA folder (useing Windows notepad)
3: find the earth entry in the SOLASYS.ssc and replace the textures with the new names

EG:

From

"Earth" "Sol"
{
Texture "earth.jpg"
NightTexture "earth-night.jpg"
BumpMap "earth-bump.png"
BumpHeight 5.5
Radius 6378

CloudMap "earth-clouds.png"

To

"Earth" "Sol"
{
Texture "newearth8k.dds"
NightTexture "lights-aurora4k.dds"
BumpMap "NewEarth4KBump.png"
BumpHeight 5.5
Radius 6378

CloudMap "New-Earth-Clouds.dds"

enjoy

I hope you have a pretty good Nvidia graphics card to view these DDS textures
