What the heck is that?

[Beeburgers]

As I was playing around with some stock ship or another I saw this:

That little dot just above and to the right of the aircraft. (starboard?) All I can give you as evidence is my word that it's not some random cloud particle, but something that had a fixed position in the sky.

Whatcha think? Minmus? Eve? It was during the day, and that was kind of close to the sun.

[Goldham]

I think its Minmus

[Aphox]

It's Minmus. It's the only planet moon close enough to be visible.

I actually have a really old screenshot of it together with the Mun.

Yes, moon. You know what I meant.

[Godot]

I would bet on Eve or Jool

[Drone487]

I've seen that dot before its definitely minmus

Erm, I don't think you mean planet, Try moon.

But yeah It's defiantly Minmus, You can see it quite often.

Though I agree with you, I've actually seen documentaries calling the Moon a planet. It must be a common mistake.

The definition of "planet" is like "continent". Everybody has a different opinion.

Back OT, the ORDA telescopes let you zoom waaaaaaay in, so you can even see Jool's moons from LKO.
