CelestiaGuru: EVLA Addon available
https://celestiaguru.blogspot.com/2011/04/evla-addon-available.html
An infrequent history of creating some Addons for Celestia. Tuesday, April 19, 2011. The EVLA Addon for Celestia is now available. I'm not sure if this should count as EVLA v1 or VLA v2. At any rate, it is a .0 release with several low priority issues which might get fixed in a .1 release, which might be soon or late. More information about the Addon is available at.

CelestiaGuru: Return to Pell
https://celestiaguru.blogspot.com/2011/08/return-to-pell.html
An infrequent history of creating some Addons for Celestia. Saturday, August 27, 2011. I've gotten back to working on my Alliance/Union addon: spacecraft and flights among stars. For the moment, I'm working mostly on models and livery for them, while ruminating about how to make the starflight work reasonably. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

NYÍRFA HÁZ: Csillagász tábor
http://nyirfa.blogspot.com/2010/07/csillagasz-tabor.html
Turistaház, pihenőhely 36 ággyal, hatalmas, ligetes kerttel egy icipici, Velence nevezetű faluban. A blog korai bejegyzéseiben találhatók képek az épületekről (A felújított szállás; Felújítás) és a környékről (Tavasz, Nyár, Ősz, Tél), a későbbi bejegyzésekben pedig a különféle táborokról, rendezvényekről. Nyírfa Ház a Facebookon. 2010 július 18., vasárnap. Egy bonni csillagász a 19. században távcsövével kb. 458ezer csillagot számolt meg. Na persze akkor még elég alap távcsövek voltak. Ezen a képen jól l...

He metallic dragonfly known as Mariner 2, a derivative of the then-struggling lunar Ranger series and modified for interplanetary cruise and launched in August 1962 toward the planet Venus. With a wingspan at just over 5 feet (almost 2 meters), this dragonfly would have outsized even its Jurrasic cousins. 1958-1962: In The Beginning . . . It is useful t...

Dr Schenk's 3D House of Satellites. Perspective Views and Topographic Mapping of Icy Moons and Dwarf Planets - (with a nod to "SCTV"). Ceres Gets Real: Pluto Lurks. Although we are still along way from understanding this fascinating little body, Ceres is finally becoming a real planet with recognizable features!

Dr. Schenk's 3D House of Satellites: Ceres Coming Into View
http://stereomoons.blogspot.com/2015/02/ceres-coming-into-view.html
Dr Schenk's 3D House of Satellites. Perspective Views and Topographic Mapping of Icy Moons and Dwarf Planets - (with a nod to "SCTV"). Ceres Coming Into View. The best Ceres images from January are at best 20-22 kilometers resolution. Lots of features are hidden to us at this scale. Nonetheless here is a reprojected version one of the new images, one unmarked, the other marked by what appear to be scarps or topographic features, all of which at this point seem. A comparable map of Tethys is shown to right.
