Horizon woes

Hi Truman,

You wrote:

"...In order for the horizon and horizon objects to display, the
location must
be on the surface of the earth."

True, with a minor quibble: it has to be on the surface of a _planet_ or
satellite.

So far, a separate horizon is defined only for the Moon. Set that to
be your viewpoint, and you get a flag, mountains, and a rocket ship
on the horizon. Other planets just use the default horizon, which
causes you to see trees, houses, etc. when on the surface of
Mars, Jovian moons, etc. I suppose I ought to at least have some
H. G. Wells-style Martians walking around for the Mars horizon...
