Selden Ball's Graticules and Redshift customized to my Celestia

Post #1by DrJMOS » 03.12.2020, 03:47

Hi people:

This addon is because a request of Art Blos in post of Ajtribick stars addon. Is a custom adaptation of the original addon of Graticules and Redshift of Selden Ball to see equatorial, galactic, ecliptic and local sheet lines since the sky of the earth and to see distances out of the solar system.

UPDATE 5/12/20:
Corrected fail with Z=4

UPDATE 6/12/20:
Scripts to turn OFF/ON grids and lines

UPDATE 4/08/21
New script to turn OFF/ON all grids and lines since 1ly to z=1000 of the galactic plane with only 1 click/script

UPDATE 31/08/21
Details of the Version 4:
1. Ecliptic line now is the red line that includes all redshift lines z=0.01 to z=1000
2. Galactic plane now is the green line and includes only graticules of 2 ly to 200000 ly
3. Includes Axis of evil point (see the main reason in last post)
4. Includes Ecliptic poles (see the main reason in last post)
5. Scripts to turn ON/OFF galactic grids, redshift lines and all grids and lines

MINIUPDATE 11/09/21
Strongest script to turn ON/OFF entire addon with only 1 click

UPDATE 04/04/25

Details of the Version 5:
Supergalactic line (see last post to know details)

    Blue line or equatorial line projected around of the bubble universe (observable universe or about Z=1000).
    Red line or ecliptic line is a custom adaptation of the original addon Redshift lines of Selden Ball to see distances with Redshift distances z=0.01 to z=1000. The ecliptic plane is related to the >:( axis of evil >:)
    Green line or galactic plane, is a custom adaptation of the original addon Graticules of Selden Ball to see distances inside the Milky way in light years (graticule of 2 ly to 200000 ly). Includes a line about z=1000.
    Yellow line or local Sheet, the local sheet in astronomy is a nearby extragalactic region of space where the Milky Way, the members of the Local Group and other nearest 12 big galaxies share a similar peculiar velocity. The yellow line is the edge of a gigantic disk of dark matter.
    Orange line or supergalactic line, is a reference line for the supercluster of galaxies that contains the Milky Way galaxy, referenced to a local relatively flat collection of galaxy clusters used to define the supergalactic plane. The supergalactic plane is more or less perpendicular to the plane of the Milky Way; the angle is 84.5°.

Details about new changes

I have changed the color and position of the lines and grids of the galactic plane and ecliptic line due to the following reasons:

1. Researchers have discovered that the plane of the ecliptic and the points of the equinoxes is very similar to the plane and axis of the universe called the axis of evil and there is a best place to put the redshift lines disk
2. Other reason to put redshift lines in the same plane of the ecliptic lines instead the galactic plane is to see a best comparison of z lines and the galaxies around z=0.01 to z=0.2
3. Now includes points of ecliptic poles (north and south), solstices, equinoxes and poles of axis of evil to see the poles of the universe with scripts marks. Red marks indicates poles of the warm areas, blue the cold poles and green marks the division between cold and warm areas. Spring equinox is cold, fall equinox is warm, solstices is gren, north pole is cold and south pole is warm.

New Update: Supergalactic line

Post #6by DrJMOS » 04.04.2025, 18:09

New Lines V5 version that includes supergalactic line, the download link appear in the new update to the first post. The supergalactic plane has meaning in terms of understanding the location of major groups of bright galaxies and their positional relationships. Update is based in the next info and images here. Includes a script to mark most representative galaxies of Virgo, Perseus, Pavus, Centaurus, Coma and Hercules:
