Celestial Objects with Naked Eye from KSC

I was able to see Jool from KSC in sandbox with a 1920x1200 monitor. Following @blakemw's idea, here's how I did it:

  • I put a command cupola on the Launchpad of KSC.
  • I set my target to Jool.
  • I fast forwarded time (a lot) to put Jool in opposition.
  • I fast forwarded time to put Jool just overhead in the NavBall.
  • I switched to IVA mode, then zoomed in all the way.
  • Jool appeared as a single, unaliased pixel surrounded by aliased pixels.

Skybox pixels don't increase in detail with zoom, but the celestial models do.
