The star called HD 8762/HIP 6741 can not be viewed unless at certain angle, it's also large according to it's data. This may be true for other stars just as big, I also found another just like this but did not get the name. Both of these stars are on the edge of the galaxy, and much larger than our sun.
I'm sure this next one has been covered, but making time to fast causes all the planets to vanish along with the stars, and they leave their light behind.
HD 8762/HIP 6741 is invisible

This happens to a lot of stars far away from solar system.
Seems as if celestia displays "Universe in a box", meaning that there's a black box around the space.
(Some stars, e.g. HD 30243, vanish completely, when you move to them (they are visible if you're far away and they are displayd as just some (probably not textured;-) pixels. Try from Alfa Cam))

This bug should be fixed in the latest prelease EXEs for Windows: http://www.shatters.net/celestia/files/celestia-win32-1.2.4pre2.zip Also, if you're building using the CVS tree, the fix has been checked in there.
