This is so beautifull Vladimir. I will always be amazed by the amount of intelligence, work and care you put on this project. My instinct in each update is to jump and say again and again how spectacular work you have done, but I feel that saying always the same thing doesn't add anything to the conversation. Today I just thought it didn't matter, I want to express my joy about this.

Also happy to hear about Klud's return. The best texture packs I've ever seen came from him. If I remember correctly he had incredible skills in terms of adding patches of surface textures at extremely high resolutions, I wonder if he can make a detailed tutorial for the future so more people can help.

Also, hoping to have time soon to help with the stellar catalogs and stellar populations of the galaxy.

Thanks FFT!

There is a bug with white dwarfs, when I approach dwarfs like keid b SE cant render them and crashes. sorry if this is the wrong place, I can't find a bug's section.

Updates are automatic through Steam from now on, no plans currently for a website version or support of deprecated versions.

Triple solar eclipse on Jupiter, January 24, 2015. You can't see this in SE, because current build have a bug with incorrect orientation of satellite's orbits. Will be fixed in the next update.


Few hours before that, Io experienced partial eclipse from Callisto:

What's coming in 0.991 and why aren't the planned features listed in the first post?

Because there are no plans. Just continue development.

Plus, the plan doesn't reflect the changes made in 0.990. Other than that, keep up the impressive work
