For Updates to Existing Add-ons

For updates to existing add-ons, please attach the id to the add-on and only include updated fields from the template. For removal of add-ons, please attach the id too.

The id is part of the link to the add-on: For example, this addon below has an id of A4577B17-4C60-0C1E-CAB5-92A604FF0EC3 https://celestia.mobi/resources/item?item=A4577B17-4C60-0C1E-CAB5-92A604FF0EC3

Check Before Uploading an Add-on

Your add-on will be running on Android/iOS/macOS/Windows, to enable maximum compatibility, please ensure that:

1. File names referenced in models, ssc, dsc files, etc. are exactly the same as the actual file names (some file systems are case sensitive. For example if in your .ssc there is Mesh "Progress.cmod", then the file name should be exactly Progress.cmod not progress.cmod).
2. Textures should have width/height of power of 2 (for example: 1024 512, a texture of 1000 500 will not work on many mobile devices).
3. If your add-on requires specific Celestia versions, please mention in the description. Please also ensure that your add-on should not crash running on other versions.
4. If you are updating an existing add-on, note that existing users will not see an update button, so it might be a good idea to include version history in the description.
5. Please try to use smaller files for image/thumbnail/other metadata. For example, use JPG if alpha value is not needed.
6. All images need to be in JPEG (you either choose to screenshot in JPEG in Celestia or convert using tools)
7. The add-on archive should not include system files or hidden files (macOS is notorious for adding hidden system files to archives, avoid using macOS's default archive utility) this issue is found in many add-ons @Anthony-B-Russo10 uploaded
8. The add-on archive must have a flat folder structure (It should try to have fewer level of folders, do not do things like A/A/A) this issue is found in many add-ons @SpaceExplorer2008 uploaded

Title: Rhea's rings Description (Plain Text): Rhea, Saturn's second largest moon, may have a possible very faint ring system consisting of three dense narrow bands within a disk of particles. This would be the first discovery of rings around a moon. The potential discovery was announced on March 6, 2008 in the journal Science, based on analyzes made with data from the Cassini spacecraft. However, the existence of these possible rings has not been fully confirmed.

NOTE: The rings are very, very thin. So, in Celestia, you'll need to get very close to Rhea in order to see them.

"Announcing here a new method for sending asteroids. As is being done for numbered periodic comets, I will send several asteroids (mostly from the main belt) in parts containing various objects. Obviously, just like comets, asteroids that have a highlight or a custom texture will remain in separate addons (eg: 2 Pallas, 4 Vesta, 21 Lutetia, 90 Antiope, etc)."

A few days after its discovery it was lost, but found again in December 2000. 1950 DA is 1.1 km in diameter. It once had the highest known probability of impacting Earth, but the estimated risk has been updated several times. It is estimated that in the year 2880 the chance of impact on Earth will be 1 in 8,300.

Update 1998 WT24 ID: E50FDDEF-E97B-4015-8ED4-F1253B751A31

Title: (33342) 1998 WT24 Description (Plain Text): (33342) 1998 WT24 is a near-Earth asteroid and potentially hazardous asteroid of the Aten group. It was discovered on November 25, 1998 by the LINEAR project. The 1998 WT24 orbit makes it cross the orbits of Mercury, Venus and Earth, and due to its low orbit inclination, it is capable of approaching all of these planets. This asteroid measures between 350 and 415 meters in diameter, and if it eventually collided with Earth it would cause devastation on a regional scale.

Update 2000 DP107 ID: 1625B1BC-331D-5906-80E2-C2BB56B962C1

Title: (185851) 2000 DP107 Description (Plain Text): (185851) 2000 DP107 is a near-Earth asteroid. It was discovered on February 29, 2000 by the LINEAR project. This asteroid also has a moon around it. It can also be recognized as a binary asteroid system. It was the target of the Japanese small probe PROCYON, launched as a secondary payload from Hayabusa2 on December 3, 2014. However, a failure of the PROCYON ion thruster prevented it from reaching the binary asteroid system.

Celestia has a new issue where certain normal maps (possibly dxt5nm format) are creating a large dark spot. I saw this happening a while ago with other objects. For example, there's J1407b. And this is not the shadow of your ring system.

Description: An addon that brings a spectacular view of the history of our planet Earth, from 4.5 billion to 20 million years in the past. This addon adds 46 alternate surfaces for Earth, showing what our planet might have looked like at different times.

NOTES:

• If you install this addon, it is highly recommended that you also install the Earth addon, so that the default Earth texture matches these alternate surfaces.

• When viewing the alternate surface "4500 million years ago", you must disable the atmosphere and clouds in Celestia's settings.
