Minmus from Kerbin?

[Twinky827]

Just wondering, but can you actually SEE Minmus at all from Kerbin? Does it just look like a bright star or what?

It\'s a much more refined star.

I saw it once next to the Mun :U

Pic?

Pic?

Let me go find it.

It\'s that bigger Star next to the Mun. I think that\'s it.

Cooooooool..... Thanks! Also, guys. Why is Minmus frozen, Kerbin isn\'t and Minmus is CLOSER to Kerbol on occasion.

[Monkthespy]

Probably due to no atmosphere, it being blocked by Mun and Kerbin most of the time, etc.

Also, the fact that it isn\'t a 100% realistic physical simulation probably had something to do with it

[Twinky827]

I found it, it actually isn\'t very refined, it\'s right next to Kerbali Mega

Come to think of it, I\'m going to put up a new observatory tower in KSC, just for this stuff... (Launch a rocket that looks all telescopy and land it in KSC

It\'s like a very bright star with a more defined shape, but it\'s very small.

I think you can pretty much figure out where it is in the picture. It\'s similar to seeing Venus from Earth, only less prominently.

[Twinky827]

I dunno, I was facing the EXACT direction of Minmus.

[Jatizso]

Look around even then. If you\'re using the world map, it\'s never gonna be at the exact location you want it to be. When I was verifying to see if it was actually Minmus, I pointed in the rough direction it was on the world map, and with a few looks and camera angle changes I spotted it.

[Twinky827]

I used.... MATH! (Last resort for me)

I can confirm it is in fact smaller than just about all the stars in the night sky. If you don\'t believe me, look at it from low Kerbin orbit with time warp on (around 100x or so should be sufficient, probably visible as low as 10x though). Stars are static, and Minmus will move. Then and only then can you be certain of it.
