Publisher's description

From Shatters Software :

Celestia is a space simulation that allows you to travel within the solar system, out to the stars, and beyond the Milky Way galaxy. Possible destinations include over 100,000 stars, nearly one hundred solar system destinations, and sixty recently-discovered extrasolar planets. Celestia uses OpenGL to render realistic real-time animations of space travel.

Version 1.6.0 has implemented encoding of special characters when saving cel URLs and fixed flickering of models with missing texture coordinates.
