Many of you might know and many of you might not know about this planetary body at the brim of our Solar System but I would love to see it added to a future version of KSP Brief explanation of Sedna: it was discovered on November 14th, 2003 "as you see below." and has a VERY elliptical orbit "Link below shows its relative orbit path" and being largely a mixture of water, methane and nitrogen ices with tholins. it is classified as a Dwarf Planet, slightly smaller then our moon, and has an orbit period of around 11,500 years. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e3/Sedna_orbit.svg/600px-Sedna_orbit.svg.png Discovered by Michael E.
