I just discovered and downloaded Celestia and am fascinated by flying around space. But the browser screen is tiny and I can’t figure out how to expand it. Any ideas?

I’ve only ever used the MacOS X version of Celestia, so my advice will be based on that and might not apply to your situation if you’re on another platform.

The main window is resizable in the usual way: click and drag the lower-right corner. This task is made more difficult than usual by the fact that the drag “handle” is not visible, but it still works.

Also, Celestia should remember the size of the main window in between sessions, so once you get it the way you like it, you’re set.

Hope that helps.

Thanks. Perfect! For some reason that resizing corner was hard to find.
