It's located in the Celestia directory. <i>demo.cel</i>

That's a good question. I tried it and I could not see the earth at the beginning of the demo. I could see the other planetary bodies, however.

At the start of the demo look to the top left corner of the screen it says Earth
Distance: 206.??? AU
Just click g (go) that will zoom in too earth.
I thik that's becasue you're starting Celestia from just the default location, before you Go to Io you travell to it right?
It may be that before you reac Io you are 200 AU away from it.

I keep it as a record.
Rass sent me an email containing Celestia's whereabouts.
The same day I installed it. That was a good email, one of the best I've ever gotten.
