If your DirectX really is only v8, then you are using ancient graphics drivers. The current version is v9.0c. Although Celestia uses OpenGL, not DirectX, this indicates that the drivers need to be upgraded.

Please read the Preliminary User's FAQ, which is a sticky near the top of the Celestia Users Forum.

:D Thanks for your help!

The problem has been solved. It works well since the graphics drivers has been upgraded.
