Strange shadows

[anarion9]

Just tryed the last version of Celestia on my PentiumII 350 MHz, running Windows 98SE and with a Matrox G200 graphic card.
Everything right, but if I'm in fullscreen mode I can't return to windowed mode: the program crashes!
Also: when I see the shadows of satellites on Jupiter, there are also 2 orthogonal lines that seem to be shadows moving with the shadow disk!
It's my computer fault?
See you

I have the same shadow problem. Also (so far only once) a huge blue transparent patch covered most of Jupiter when I zoomed in. It got bigger as I got and its center was always my center of vision.

This "orthogonal lines" eclipse problem is a known bug. I think that Chris is either working on it or has a fix already.

I see the problem with Jupiter, but not with the Earth and Moon. I had some fun examining various past and future eclipses-- you can get information about them here:

The Celestia results track the eclipse maps pretty closely.
