There is a special shot with 3 shadows on jupiter


Thxs, Calculus. Very interesting!

Is there a case with 3 shadows on the planet and 2 shadows on satellites?

Btw, I've done more little changes on the video.
I intend in a next version to brighten galilean satellites albedo to get more realism.
Very easy to do in Celestia on .jpg files.
The main problem is to find a good reference...

May you can tell us how you are produce this?


Captured as fullframes with Celestia, trimmed, filtered, titled, audioed with VirtualDub, encoded with RealProdod10Basic. Preprocessing of audio track with ExactAudioCopier.

More info about making sim videos here :

I also posted a lot in Orbiter forum.

Your gallery is superb!

But I can't play the movie on any of my reader.

Sorry, Calculus :(

Not stuck at all, but the performance begins only at 3/4 of total length ;)

Hi, :)


I intend to make a closeup hires movie of 11/11/97 event.

In following picture, in upper row are genuine Celestia medres files sorted by albedos as found on the web, resp. Io 63%, Jupiter 50%, Europa 46%, Ganymede 43%, Callisto 17%.


Image

In lower row, I quickly "eyeball " adjusted brightness of Io and Ganymede, using Brightness, Contrast and Gamma controls in Irfanview.

I'd appreciate if anybody could do a more scientific correction and send/indicate a link to me related zipped .jpg files.

Thxs. :)

I made it a while ago, maybe Chris changed the custom orbits.
Or may be the POV was not located on earth. I can't remember
Sorry

The 2 successive shadows on Io are independant of POV.
I was just interested in knowing if this event was true?

Checking it with SNP4 shows the event at 05:34 UT, and Io passing just outside the Callisto penumbra. => 0 shadow on it!

This is a point of view from Earth :

I found on the web this "official" astronomical info

http://www.seds.org/pub/info/newsletter ... p9711.html

Nov 10, 1997 Three moon shadows will appear on Jupiter, starting at 9:10 PM

Nothing said about shadows on Io :(

You are totally right. It does not depend on the POV. I guess it was a glitch in an old Celestia version. Though, I tried again and I have a Io shadow with Celestia V1.3.0pre4

Let's say it is a nice bug
