No, in green areas you'll see grass, in white areas - snow:

The next 0.990 pre-release stream will be next Thursday, June 6, at 17:00 UTC

Haha yes!

How does SE know when to use the grass and snow textures on a planet with bitmapped textures? Does it depend on the color of the underlying bitmap, or the latitude, or does SE have biome maps now?

Yes. This, the slope of the terrain, and the planet's classification.

Unfortunately I need to postpone the next stream by a day. It will now be on Thursday, June 6, at 17:00 UTC

What happened?

I forgot about something I needed to do during that time.

In your last stream, you tried to use the map view to look for supernova remnants but couldn't find any. Since SE makes supernova remnants so dim, a better approach would be to turn off stars, clusters and galaxies, and turn up the magnitude limit for nebulae to the maximum of 20.

You actually found one!?
