    Yes, it's a view from the Moon so I thought the lunar landscape would look right.
    I have the repo version of 0.21.3 on my Lenovo laptop (Ubuntu) but this is a screenshot of the Snap version (https://snapcraft.io/stellarium-daily) running on my custom built Juno laptop.

    Cool moon landscape.

    I just checked my Stellarium revision 0.19.3 on Linux Mint and I have it too!

    Should I try to update Stellarium to the latest version anyway?

    It's probably best to update to 0.21.3. I updated to 0.21.2 from the Terminal for the repo version. I installed the snap 0.21.3 from the Terminal on my other Ubuntu laptop. I don't think Mint supports snaps but if you have the Ubuntu based Mint you should be able to update the repo or PPA directly from the Terminal. My repo version 0.21.2 updated itself to 0.21.3 on Xmas Day. I can't tell any difference between the snap and the repo versions.
