Thanks to Chris W for mentioning this program. I just reinstalled it (gentoo ;-)
i think i heared about it, but never tried it before. it's amazing, lets you look at the solar system from the outside.
Heres one for ya! I assume you have the gtk interface? If so, goto Render-> Options, and switch Eclipse shadows 'on'...
Then setup Celestia's time and date to 11th Nov 1997, 16:43:00 NZDT. Use the Celestial Browser to goto the Jupiter moon Io, and swing your posiion around so you can see Jupiter in the background...neat huh!
A double eclipse! Not a thing you'll see everyday!! :^)
now i'd like the tourguide to include pointers to the star-trek universe
You sound like my brother-in-law, who honestly believes that Star Wars is a load of tripe because it isn't "real", unlike Star Trek! ;^)
His home is full of Trek paraphernalia, mags, videos, and I think he even has books on how to learn klingonese etc...
I must admit that I don't mind watching Trek when 7 of 9 is on...
hehe! ;^)
Kind regards,
Chris Wilkinson, Christchurch.
