Yes, it is actually possible to see other planets from Kerbin! The planets work differently than objects e.g. asteroids, rockets and space stations. They are always loaded, so with the right tools they can be seen visibly from anywhere in the Kerbol System. By using the zoom in feature in a command pod, you can easily spot Minmus if you set it as target, but it’s possible to zoom in on other planets! So far I was only able to see Eve as four purple pixels on the screen as well as Jool (2x2 to 3x3). I also tried to spot Duna from kerbin but with no luck. If you plan on trying this for yourself, make sure the planets/moons are as close to the location you are observing the object from. This makes it easier to spot. Enjoy!
