:arrow: ... DOWNLOADS = 1,827,901

And this is ONLY for SourceForge, which means it does not include all the downloads from the Celestia home site.

And this is in LESS than 3 years!

AMAZING !!! 8O

Another popularity indicator is a search on Google (+celestia +space +3d) that lists 4,270 web pages:

Though if you look at "Top Downloads (Past 7 Days)", celestia is only at 70, and not even on the chart for pageviews :?

But I would expect most people to go to shatters.net. Any numbers (probably only chris can answer this one)? Anyway, personally I care more for quality than quantity :) (place #1: eMule. Who would have thought...)
