Here a list of some textures created by NASA that appear in the Exo Pioneer - NASA's Eyes that can adapt and import to Celestia:

STEPS:

1. Create folder called medres
2. Put inside of the folder medres next images:

https://eyes.nasa.gov/apps/exo/assets/image/exoplanet/Proxima_Cen_b.jpg
https://eyes.nasa.gov/apps/exo/assets/image/exoplanet/YZ_Cet_d.jpg
3. Save in medres specular and night version of HD 189733 b too that appear in the next posts (update ssc code with *.png to night and spec)
4. Put medres inside new folder called textures
5. Copy codes that appear in the next posts and paste using note pad (in windows) and save as ExoPioneer.ssc (during next days I will create all codes)
6. Create folder called ExoPioneer and put inside to the file called ExoPioneer.ssc and the folder called Textures
7. Put ExoPioneer folder inside of the folder called extras inside of the celestia folder
8. Install addon CelestiaExoplanets_2021_07_01.zip of exoplanets by Sirius Alfa

Unfortunately, its not realistic for terrestrial planets to have clouds as part of their surfaces.
Cloud maps are supposed to have heights and surround the base textures.

yeah, its sad that the clouds and surface maps were not 2 seprite things in those maps...

Hello guys, that's right, it's sad not to find separately the surface map and the clouds in terrestrial planets :cry:
