Hi,
I downloaded celestia quite a few months ago, but only seriously into it for the past few days. While traversing the universe at unimaginably high speeds, something struck me
...relativity. Instead viewing blackness at 1^10 ly/s how about viewing relativistic effect at speed near c? This thought may have come up earlier to any other user, which I may not be aware of. I am not a computer expert...so I leave this challenge to all those who are.
P.S: Here is a site that has a software featuring all the relativistic effects:-

which unfortunately didn't work on my machine
