gbnewby writes "Remember the NASA Blue Marble composite image of earth from space, completely cloud free? Today a whole new series was released showing earth scenes from cloudless days across all 12 months of 2004. These beautiful images come in many different resolutions and formats. NASA even provided some animations. We and others have set up web, ftp and rsync mirrors; let the Torrents begin!"

I know this isn't the place to ask, but I would really appreciate if anyone out there who has gotten celestia to work could make an inclusive rpm, no dependencies. I am all for tinkering with software installs on linux (core 3) and trying to get this stuff to work, but for some reason i'm not feelin it tonight.
