New asteroids:

  • 7 Iris
  • 10 Hygiea
  • 16 Psyche
  • 45 Eugenia and two moons
  • 87 Sylvia and two moons
  • 130 Elektra and three moons
  • 704 Interamnia

Updated asteroids:

  • 2 Pallas (data and model)
  • 3 Juno (data and model)
  • 4 Vesta (data, model, texture and locations)
  • 216 Kleopatra (data, model, added two moons)

Additionally, this updates the asteroid.jpg texture with one (also by cubicApocalypse) that's calibrated to an albedo of 0.5. The colors of each asteroid have been calculated so that they have approximately correct brightness depending on their albedo (this has some drawbacks, however; see Celestia#2016). CMS models have been updated as well with versions from Project Echoes which have more realistic parameters and look smoother.
