The Celestia Motherlode: Home

Welcome to the Motherlode!
The Celestia Motherlode is a repository for various addons like textures, models or celestial objects for Celestia. Celestia is a free, interactive (real-time), 3D astronomy program. It doesn't just show you the sky as it can be seen from earth as most planetarium software does, but allows you to move to and view the universe from any point between the planets and the stars. The Celestia Motherlode hosts over 10 GB of Celestia addons by various creators, which extend or change the way Celestia renders the universe. Please note that for historical reasons the procedure to install addons varies. If available check the readme for the addon, the add-on installation guide or the documentation section of this site. If you want to leave a comment about the add-on or rate the add-on's quality, just click on the magnifying glass in the info column of each add-on. For more information about using the catalog see the help page.
