Hello! Thank you for such cool program program as Celestia.
Usually, during Total Solar Eclipse when the Moon hides the Sun, the territory where the shadow of the Moon falls, for 2-3 minutes night comes, i.e. all around becomes dark as late at night. And also the horizon is painted in bright-red color, as if there is a sunset (far places where the eclipse has not transformed territory into a gloom). Really very beautiful phenomenon (observed on August 11, 1999). I hoped, that in Celestia all that will take into account. But when I simulated a solar eclipse, came closer as it possible (about 30-50 m) to the surface of the Earth, result of the eclipse was that the dark side of the Moon has eclipsed the Sun was simple, but around everything light so as if there is no eclipses at all
Is it impossible to simulate a realistic solar eclipse in Celestia?
Solar Eclipse in Celestia is unreal
Yeah, it's possible.
Are you a programmer ?
I'm sure it's possible, and you can do it your self !
If your no programmer you have to wait a bit till the wish list gets to your realistic thing.
But I'm also sure that it will never be like the real thing ! Not even if you have a connector on the back of your head (or if you are your a Borg).
I saw it in the south of Belgium.... Great !

I was in Metz, North of France. Unfortunately it was cloudy, after some twenty minutes the sky cleared to stay like that for the next few days.
Lapinism matters!
