I was looking at the orbits of the planets around Sol, which have always been identical in terms of tilt (when viewed from a certain angle, the orbits look like a single line).
One day, for some reason, the orbits suddenly became uneven in tilt. See the attachments for examples.
Is this a bug, or did I likely do something to screw it up?

Re: Planetary orbits messed up
It's not a bug or a glitch or a problem. The orbits of the planets really are tilted like that. They do not orbit the sun in a perfectly flat plane.
Current Setup:
Windows 7 64 bit. Celestia 1.6.0.
AMD Athlon Processor, 1.6 Ghz, 3 Gb RAM
ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics
