Celestia 1.4.1 description

Celestia is a free real-time space simulation that lets you experience our universe in three dimensions. Unlike most planetarium software, Celestia doesnt confine you to the surface of the Earth.
You can travel throughout the solar system, to any of over 100,000 stars, or even beyond the galaxy.
All travel in Celestia is seamless; the exponential zoom feature lets you explore space across a huge range of scales, from galaxy clusters down to spacecraft only a few meters across.
A point-and-goto interface makes it simple to navigate through the universe to the object you want to visit.
Enhancements:
- Windows: Added time zone selection to set time dialog
- Windows: Fixed hard to read text in set time dialog (bug was only present for certain Windows shell appearance settings.)
- Changed maximum number of eclipse shadows in OpenGL 2.0 path from two to three; if max is exceeded, clamp to three rather than not rendering the shadows at all.
- Corrected a bad calculation in ring shadow shaders that caused ring shadows to be drawn in the wrong place.
