"Celestia 1.3.2 24 Aug 2004
A new version of Celestia is ready with significant enhancements since
1.3.1. It includes a 3D model and complete trajectory of the Cassini
mission to Saturn, so that you can follow the spacecraft from launch
through its four years in orbit around Saturn. Celestia 1.3.2 supports
a new 3D file format for storing higher quality models of irregular
objects. The data files have been updated with the latest extrasolar
planet and solar system discoveries. There are new scripting commands,
extended character set support, and improvements to rendering speed
and quality. The change log has a full list of new features and bug
fixes in Celestia 1.3.2."

If you've never tried out this great program, check it out. Note
though, that it understandably requires pretty good graphics capabilities.

Did you check out the animated graphics on the main page:

Back to the main subject, I would like to know in what ways NASA has
enhanced Celestia. Also note that the NASA version is currently based
on Celestia 1.3.1 and the most current version of Celestia is 1.3.2.

By the way, how did you find the NASA Celestia page?
