"Space is big. Really big!
|
|
You've no idea how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is! I mean, you
|
|
may think it's a long way down the street to the chemist, but that's just
|
|
peanuts to space."
|

Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

One thing that will be come clear when using Celestia is the enormous range
|
|
of scale between the smallest and largest structures. In Celestia, human built
|
|
spacecraft are at the low end of the size scale. Galaxies occupy the top of
|
|
the range; at up to 100,000 light years across, they're roughly 10^19 times
|
|
bigger than the smallest objects. This makes navigating in Celestia a little
|
|
less straightforward than in other 3D applications.

To rotate your point of view, simple drag the mouse across the view window. In
|
|
the Windows version of Celestia, the cursor will disappear allowing you to
|
|
rotate as much as you like without being limited by the edges of the screen.
