Maybe you already know this, but when looking at the Earth and zooming in alot the coulds become really strange. They become stripes and it looks strange. I'll post a picture if you need one.

Yes, please post a link to the picture. And also let me know what video card you have . . . I suspect that this is a z buffering issue.

I'm able to reproduce this on my GeForce3. I filed a report in the Celestia bug database and will see if I can come up with a fix for the next version of Celestia.
