string NewGamePhysics.Physics.CelestialBody.GetTextureName ( int  variation  ) 

Returns a texture name of the celestial body.

Parameters:
variation The variation of the texture. This input variable is only used if there are any variations available. If none are available the default texture (i.e. variation 0) is used. Variations are available for: Earth, Venus.
Returns:
The name of the texture.
