Graphics problem on a MacBook Pro

Fly to the Earth observer and look Earth from it

Hi Alexander,

Thanks so much for your reply.

I think that's what I'm trying to do.

In Stellarium, I find the Sun from my observation location on Earth, click on the Sun, get the red ring around it, and then press CTL-G. What I get is my own earth horizon wrapped into a 360 degree view...a blue ball (I use the ocean landscape). I cannot see the Earth as a planet from the Sun. Is this a Macintosh-only problem?

When I set my observation from the Moon I can see the Earth as a planet and zoom in, no problem.

I need to see the Earth in relation to the ecliptic and watch how the position of the sub-solar point changes throughout the year to cause the seasons.

Any suggestions?

Ron
