Eve Transit

[whiterafter]

Would it be possible to observe a transit of Eve in ksp? Of course I can understand that due to game limitations it won't be quite obvious, but if one blocked the edge of kerbol through the edge of screen, I would think one could see a dot.

If so it would happen more often than venus because of a lesser inclination, and I would like to observe it

Maybe. I know there are a lot of visual mods that improve things. Sadly I do not know the name of any, but i know for a fact that one enhances and improves how objects, planets included, appear from far away.

I haven't heard of one, but it sounds like one of this things that just has to exist: A telescope/observatory mod.

Combine the two above, and you should be able to.

Yes you would need some very serious enchantment, around Minmus orbit kerbin can block the sun, solar panels give the blocked by sun message, however its not visible, same with Tylo in low orbit around Jool.

Distant Object Enhancement will make the other planets a lot more noticeable in the sky, it should be a matter of pointing a telescope mod at the Sun once Eve gets close.

I did notice this today in map view. The spot disappeared if I zoomed in though.

I observed it today, here's the photo:

Eve was about 1 milimiter in size on the screen. I needed to fully scroll the middle button on the mouse, and then click on it, so that I would have maximal zoom. Go and try it yourself

I've seen Eve transit some time before reaching it with my probe long ago. No visual mods there, so it was only tiny dot.

Transits are not rare. After installing Distant Object Enhancement, it seems that every time I look at the sun* one planet or another is in front of it. However, I'm surprised you can see this in stock. I never noticed it before for sure.

*At least, every time I noticed it there was! Observer bias FTW.

Oh wait I found pics.
