Actually, you can. If you know what you're doing, you can get creative!
If you see that I made a dumb or nonsensical post years ago, please forgive me in advance.

We need to work on Celestia. We also need a mobile version. Celestia is going to die if it has too many flaws.

Agreed. In today's world, more and more people are spending time on their phones. A Celestia app that is compatible with both iOS and Andriod would be useful indeed

Also, regarding improvement in Celestia, there's a beta version of 1.7.0 that you can download. While it does not have all the features, it already shows some improvements over 1.6.1, such as the final area being around 4-5 million Mega-parsecs rather than 3 million, accurate star color, audio-playing(which I'm still figuring out how to make it work), and a few others. I'm truly looking forward to the next development of 1.7.0, because who knows, it will go beyond any expectations

It's removed actually and awaits for proper implementation.

Oh, no wonder I cannot find a way to make it work. It's ok though, I think more important improvements are needed, like the Virtual Textures and (hopefully) the increase of the allowable Star space to the Mega-Parsecs level
