Update temperature, albedo and colors
...
Temperature correction and albedo improvement using new SSC parameters.
Now Celestia displays the real temperature.
Bond albedo values were taken from the English Wikipedia, for Mars:
http://www.tak2000.com/data/planets/mars.htm
Geometric albedo and colors of planets was calculated with very high
accuracy together with Zemlyanin from the spectra from this paper:
https://arxiv.org/abs/1609.05048
Textures and other parameters will be updated later.
