Celestia version 1.5.1 is now available for download from SourceForge. 1.5.1 is a bug fix and translation release that offers no new features beyond what it is in 1.5.0. The translations in 1.5.1 are much more complete than in 1.5.0 and fonts with Japanese, Chinese, and Cyrillic character sets are now included in the standard package. See the short change list for details on the bug fixes.

After nearly two years of development, the next major version is finally ready. You can download the Mac OS X package, Windows package, and source tarball from SourceForge. Read the 1.5.0 Feature Summary to find out what's new in this version.

Welcome to the newly redesigned Celestia web site. Thanks are due to Runar Thorvaldsen, who is responsible for the new and vastly improved look of the site. I apologize for the long down time and hope that you enjoy the new layout.
