Tylo's Cave is HUUUUUGE!

So, today I was landing on Tylo and I decided to do so near an anomaly. In this savegame there were two (the cave and a greenolith) relatively close to each other, and I went for the red one, which turned out to be the cave. I remember people saying "Oh, it's huge!" but brushing it off as if it wasn't. In my head I subconsciously thought it was about 3x the size of a Mun arch.

Oh, boy, was I wrong.

So, if you follow what I do at all, you'll probably have seen this "little" guy:

That is the ITV-020 "Philosopher of Time," designed to land on most low gravity moons, refuel, and go elsewhere. It's somewhere around 75m tall (100m with launch boosters) and is by far the biggest ship I've built that actually has a use. It also can carry 916 Kerbals.

That's it next to the Tylo cave (it can't actually land on Tylo, I just teleported it as a reference object). As you can see, the Tylo cave makes any and all ships look tiny.

 

I could probably fit a hundred of them in there! It's probably longer than the runway!

 

Note to self: Do a proper scientific expedition to the cave sometime.

Around 40, 174. You don't need the exact number, because it's in the direct center of this huge dark area.

Be warned:

1. You will have to go into a near polar orbit to get to it

2. Tylo is Tylo. Its really, really hard to land on. In fact, I broke my lander the last time I landed there. However, the ascent stage is mostly intact. If I can get it to face upwards.

I've been there a couple times, and yeah, it's monstrous!

Remember... Tylo is a 4-letter word...
