You need to create a Solar System Catalog (.ssc file) in order to make the changes you want.

SSC files are documented at http://celestiamotherlode.net/catalog/d ... ation.html about half-way down the page.

A reference page is available at http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Celestia/SSC_File

Some information about creating Addons is available at http://www.lepp.cornell.edu/~seb/celest ... intro.html

You should consider reading the other documentation on those Web sites, too.

p.s.
If you do a Web search for
nibiru celestia ssc
you'll find several SSC files.
