Hi all,

it is first time I post here, I hope for a good reason.

I was playing around and seen strange things happening with Iapetus Saturn's satellite. It seems that it is jumping from one place to another.

Also if you accelerate a lot the time speed, it will go out of Solar System at a certain point

That does seem to be the case, after some tens of thousands of years. I actually noticed this recently (that Iapetus was missing in the far future) while working on an addon, but I thought I must have done something wrong...

Also, I see you joined the Discord server - you need to verify yourself there.

The orbit of Iapetus gets really weird and chaotic, especially if you view it in Celestia 1.7.0 with fading orbits. At one point this happens...
