It appears that an extrasolar planet is paying a visit to Sol System.

It looks like it is using the Gas-giant like texture. It also appears on the Celestial Browser.

It's not a problem with the ssc, which is working fine in 1.3.2.
Pat recently made some changes to the Linux version of Celestia, and noticed he'd acquired a gas giant in close orbit around the Sun ... it looks to me as if a gas giant in orbit round a star that doesn't exist in stars.dat has been dropped into orbit around Hip 0 (the Sun), instead of simply being suppressed.

Edit: Pat noticed the bug in Linux, but the code change was made by Chris, who's currently bug-hunting it.

Scuse my bug post.....
Getting the additional stc file from
http://www.lns.cornell.edu/~seb/celestia/hutchison/missing-stars.html
sorts it out, if anyone has a similar problem.
