I'm having a little trouble understanding what you're trying to say. I think you're saying that all of your nebulas now look like the Triffid.

You should check to make sure that the other nebulas look correct when the Triffid Nebula is not being loaded. The easiest way to not load a particular Nebula is to rename its DSC file so that it has a bad filetype. For example, rename "triffid.dsc" to be "triffid.dscno"

Seeing the same texture placed on multiple objects usually happens when Celestia cannot load the correct textures for those objects. Instead it displays the last texture that it did load.

Check to make sure the other textures are in the correct directories and that you didn't accidentally delete the other textures. Also, check to make sure you aren't trying to load more textures than will fit into the memory of your graphics card.

Does this help?

I understand now what happened.I didn?t followed the instalactions instructions accurately and I installed the Trifid Nebula using Astroboy instructions and not Kailee.
Now,everything is all right
Thank you.
Forgive my vocabulary,but I am Brazilian and have a little trouble with the technical terms.
