I had managed to find the archive of SDO data of our Sun so that I can make a new 8k texture for our parent star. These images were projected onto a sphere using Cinema 4D, which were then baked, and then stitched together in Photoshop (along with being color-edited to be compatable with Celestia). I decided to use data from April 2014, because that was the last time the Sun was at its solar maximum, and there were plenty of sunspots.

Update 11/5/21: Fixed an issue where one of the Sun's alternative names dissapeared. Go redownload the addon.
