Your computer does not recognize cel:// as hyperlinks. You need to map Celestia to a mimetype >> cel://. This has nothing to do with Celestia per se, you do it in your OS preferences.

From what you say it suggests that your computer is running Windows.

When you install Celestia using its install program, it has a check box for recognizing URLs. When that box is checked, the install program creates a registry entry that all browsers are supposed to use.

You might try installing Celestia again and making sure that checkbox has a mark in it.

Thank you selden it worked
