Has any of you had some strange dreams of Celestia since you discovered it on Shatters.net? One of mine was
I had Celestia 2.0.0 and the best computer of a lifetime.
I was playing around in Celestia when I noticed something: the textures were all 16777216x8388608 pixels in size! And here I thought the maximum size limit was 16384x8192 pixels :? . I could even explore beyond the edges of the universe 8O ! Then I smacked my head trying to wake up then a URL appeared in front of me. I don't remember what it was this night but I knew it began with "http://" so I knew it had to be a web site.

Ive had dreams of exploration all my life and Celestia has made those dreams come true...Does that count?

I have weird dreams but they're not about Celestia...they're about crocodiles and pyramids and giants who eat policemen...but we won't go into that.

How did you spot the size of the textures in Celestia ? And how did you remeber the numbers ??

Cool ! But it simply begs the question : what did it look like ? :D

I just happened to have a good memory.

One of the other universes had stars and planets, but the planets were giant books! Our own universe was filled with a ton of galaxy clusters, full of galaxies and stars that did not belong to galaxies!

I am still the same character as I was before (mark02, just brought the name up to date). Anyway, at least a year ago, before I knew how to create custom solar systems, I had a dream in which I was creating a solar system around a red giant star (I'm not quite positive which one). Little did I know that my astronomical dreams were soon to become glorious reality!
