Same thing as your Nebula problem...

Click on the "render" menu at the top of Celestia while it is running,
click the "View Options" choice, then check the "orbits" box. After you
do THAT, you'll then have to drop down to the various orbit options
shown at the bottom of the screen to select which orbits you actually
wish to see. You can't just check the "orbits" box without checking the
boxes of the actual orbits you DO wish to see.

Take care, Brain-Dead
