First: No, English is not my native language.
Second: To the question.
For the last years we have been discovering quite many exoplanets (at least a hundred, I guess) but still nobody has really been able to spot the actual planets. Instead they have been found by indirect matemathical methods.
So I was wondering. Wouldn?t it be good to have a of special texture for the Celstia?s exoplanets and unexplored parts of other less known objects? Right now they have almost the same textures as the objects in our own solar-system (the exoplanets looks a bit like Jupiter), and as a beginner its easy to be tricked by that. To think that the extrasolar planets really looks like the textures shows.
Lets say that we instead used an, e.g, black and white checkered pattern (as a chessboard) texture for those "unknown" planets. A texture that would say: "We know that we have an object here but we don?t know anything about its surface".
Just a thought in the dull, rainy afternoon...
