Celestia Forums

I'm sure many of you have already seen this, but a story on Slashdot presents a new Swedish telescope in this story that can image the sun more accuratly than ever before. Although the site is currently suffering from the slashdot effect, you can see one of it's images here.

I hope this can inspire some beautiful new star textures for Celestia.

omg thats simply stunning...ok im off to make new sun textures...Ill go for 4k size this time hehe...

Ok 4k for jpg is a bit much so Im making them 2k instead...anyhoo heres the m class star...since it has the best detail...I am wondering if in one of the next versions if the flare can be rendered behind the star instead of in front...This will bring out tons of detail...

Wow, that was fast! Well done.

I agree about the flare. If we can obtain images like that from earth based telescopes, then our view within Celestia should be equaly clear.

WOW if any texture needs to use an animated gif, it this one

Imagine this in Celsetia, constantly swurling with activity.

Indeed! Did you see the movies on their site?

Kan you post that sun textur for download

it looks so cool

besides wat is rong with 4k?
