Hallo,
the description of the program is verry poor but the program is verry good.
i think there must be a relation. :wink:

I want to know how to see Earth and Moon together and if possible animated.

Thanks

Here's one example I suppose.

I use the "Lock" feature and just speed up time by pressing the "L" key several times. I often reduce the field of view (by pressing the "<" key repeatedly to magnify the objects I'm viewing.

BTW,

I became most fimiliar with all the commands by going to the Celestia User Guide link (A sticky at the top of this forum). Go to the last two pages which is a "command summary" of all of Celestia's commands. (I believe this "command summary" is actually a help menu option in the Windows version.) I just started experimenting. Most of it was pretty intuitive, and if I needed additional help the guide explains every command in detail. Hope this helps.

Take care
