CTX files are "virtual texture images". They go in the appropriate /texture/ subdirectory (lores, medres or hires). By themselves, they won't do you any good, though. Please read the documentation on VirtualTextures on the Motherlode at http://www.celestiamotherlode.net/catal ... ation.html


In the past few years, astronomers have found dozens of rather large objects in the outer solar system. Most of them are Kuiper Belt Objects. One (Sedna) may be an inner Oort Cloud object. (See http://www.gps.caltech.edu/~mbrown/sedna/ ) I haven't heard of any that are large enough to be classified as planets, though.
