What exactly do you want us to do with this confused report, lacking virtually all essential details???

You can'be serious claiming you do not know how to edit files?

Daniel,

One way to edit files is to start the editing program first and then tell it what file you want to modify. I have to believe that the people who designed the Windows user interface intentionally hid the editing functions, since you won't find either Wordpad or Notepad in the Start menu.

One way to get either of them started is to use the "Run" menu item.
When it opens its window, type in the name of the program you want to use, either Wordpad or Notepad, and then click on OK.

Then use the File menu and select the Open option.

I hope this helps a little.

It worked,but after I have modified the file,Jupiter disappeared.I edit "pseudo-animated clouds for Jupiter" or "jupiter-clouds.png" and I didn?t understand the line atmosphere {
Besides this,I didn?t understand if the spaces in the read me must correspond to lines in the solarsytem.ssc?.I put all that was written in the same line and after that I put "CloudMap jupiter-clouds.png.Was something wrong?

Daniel,

The texture files *must* be sizes which are a power of 2: 1024x512 works, 1111x408 does not, for example. This is the most common mistake made by people new to Celestia. (The graphics hardware requires this and Celestia does not do any internal scaling: it's a waste of time and damages the quality of the images.)

See http://members.fortunecity.com/guilpain/Fichiers%20ssc_uk.htm for a description of most of the .SSC commands.

Line terminators are ignored. The amount of 'white space' between command words doesn't matter so long as there is at least one space separating them. However, there must not be any spaces within command words.

Also, the exact spelling and capitalization of both the commands and of the names of the files does matter. Spaces within file names are uaually a bad idea, but must be specified if you use them.

Does this help?
