Celestia Forums

Should we have some kind of graphical indication of the Oort cloud, seeing as Sedna and other inner Oort bodies have started to appear in Celestia?

Defined as two 'orbits' perhaps, innermost and outermost Oort. (Tenuous, as who can say where these boundaries are....)

Just a thought.

I would agree with an aditional celestia object - defined as 'area' for example, and instantiatable inside a ssc-file. Inner and outer borders could be defined by orbits or (closed) xyz-trajectories. Volume could be defined by the rotation shape of an 2D polygon. The whole object highly transparent, and on/off switchable in the menu.

A well working depth sorting then would make things perfect...

A lot of mechanisms and interactions could be visualized that way.
