Celestia Forums

I'm a physics student from Austria and I have to talk about Neutron Stars in 2 weeks and for that presentation I wanted to show a litte of what Celestia can do.
The problem is now, that I can't select the Pulsar in the Crab Nebula. The only way to find it is the Bookmark I have. By using "return" and trying to search for Crab Pulsar it does not find anything.
If I open the "crab_pulsar.ssc" it says that the Name of the star also is "HIP 333340" and this one is not show in the list, but at least it is found and I can goto it. The Problem with this is, that it is not the Pulsar but a tiny redish star which is also called Crab Pulsar as it seems.

How can I fix this problem?? Sorry, for my poor english.

Dear Bowser:

Although in real life, the crab pulsar is associated with the crab nebula, in Celestia, it had to be associated with a central star, so that it could be properly placed in the nebula. The star's name is HIP 333340.

To go to it without a bookmark, press the "Enter" key and a menu will appear allowing you to enter some text.

Type the following:

HIP 333340/crab pulsar

Hit Enter. Then press the G key and Celestia will take you directly to the pulsar.

Enjoy.

I already thought that it would be something like this.
Thank you very much.
