Post #1by brunillo87 » 26.08.2009, 11:31

Hi everybody!!!
I've just seen in Celestia 1.6.0 that there is only a polaris star, but I surely know that exists a triple star system called Polaris....why it doesn't exists into the last version of Celestia?please answer me and if possible make an add-on :wink:

Celestia is genuine 3D software. Hence for binary and higher multiple star systems we NEED the complete set of orbital parameters to describe their orbiting in space and time.

Unfortunately, there are many multiple stars, where our respective information is highly incomplete. Since Celestia's strategy is NOT to supplement missing data by fiction, we are forced to skip such incomplete systems.

Polaris is one of them...
