Celestia Forums

Hey all, great to see you again! I've gotten the CMOD program to work (it's been so long that I don't even remember the name), so hopefully now I can create addons and contribute.

So, it has finally come, the day when I'm no longer interested in Trainz. I was starting to miss Celestia, and now I'm back! I am happy to return to the community, and it's nice to still see this place thriving. I've reinstalled Celestia Origin and immediately the memories of freely exploring space ...

I tried to read the article, but I could not understand what it said at all. Can someone explain it to me in simple terms?

Hello, all! I have temporarily returned after a very long break. When I logged on for the first time in months, I had a grand total of 29 unread notifications! :eek: But with that aside, I can no longer keep up with the Celestia community, and a while ago I silently left the Celestia Discord server....

Hello. You can tell by the topic title that for a while I will leave the Celestia community until further notice. It's been a fun ride, but I feel that now it's time to leave. I will not make any new content during this time. The reason I'm leaving is because I've been focusing on other interests (m...

I do know for a fact that John Van Vliet is more active on Celestial Matters, though. As for Ulrich Dickmann (Adirondack), I have no clue if he's still active or not.

Something that I also noticed is that apart from the main page no longer displaying correctly, the addon subpages won't load at all. Instead, they just lead to a page that says "HTTP Error 500."

I'm not trolling... That doesn't matter. What matters is that you have necroposted far too many times. In fact, if you were doing this on the KSP forums, you would have been banned already since they have a rule against necroposting. We have also been discussing an anti-necromancing rule here, and ...

That was unnecessarily rude.

Incredible! I thought that addon was gone for good. The only thing that I know is lost would be Hank Cotman's Alpha Omega system addon.

I found a nice page on Sol hypotheticals. Long page tho. http://solarviews.com/eng/hypothet.htm Wait, PlutonianEmpire, is it really you?? Nice to see you again after all this time! :hi: I still love your Delta Trianguli addon to this day, even if it's old. It was one of the first addons I ever inst...

From now on, let's ignore whatever jujuapapa says. He's just a troll who's trying to spark debates among us.

Hi,
I saw a better model (2014 textured rosetta) here : https://celestiaaddons.wixsite.com/celestiaaddons/stobjects

I disagree. Toutatis' model looks far superior.

20 new moons have been discovered around Saturn!

Move over, Jupiter, Saturn's the moon king now!

But only new accounts with no activity should be deleted, if the account shows signs of activity but later becomes inactive, then it's fine.

But thanks for the other catalog designations though.

You're welcome. But if other people wanted to use it, they probably wouldn't want those names with VY Canis Majoris.

Here's a version if you don't want the unnecessary names to the stars. 35793 "VY CMa:HD 58061" { RA 110.7417 Dec -25.767 Distance 3820 AppMag 4.9607 SpectralType "M4Ia" Radius 1466000000 } "R136a1:BAT99 108:RMC 136a1:HSH95 3:WO84 1b:NGC 2070:MH 498:CHH92 1:P93 954" { RA...

Yes, please. I don't think any Pioneer models for Celestia currently have the plaque.

Do the updated Pioneer models have the Pioneer plaque?

This seems somewhat flawed. If it was a black hole, wouldn't the solar system already be sucked in?
