Found Glowing Dot on surface of Minmus

What is that glowing dot on Mars? I mean Duna? I mean... Mars!

Considering how dusty Mars atmosphere is, and considering the dust the rover itself can kick up, at the proper angle, sunlight reflected off the rover could do this... as could static/plasma. It's not an anomaly in the image, that's for sure... neither is it an "alien" - they're too smart and know better than to get anywhere near 'close' to us... despite the fact we're "Mostly harmless."

They found you...

Soon your phone will ring. Don't answer it, and don't look in the mirror...

This is phenomenon is easily explained. Space-time has the ability to bend light and what is being seen is light from another dimension. Where the Kerbals are seeing light in the other dimension the denizens are seeing a shadowy dot.

Reminds me of the "Children of Goldshire" thread so many years ago. ^^

i landed at the given coordinates and i see no light during daytime or nighttime, therefore i must say its a rendering glitch on the OPs end.

[Spacepetscompany]

I have to agree! Though the cause of the rendering glitch itself..... Well that's a different issue!

[RobotsAndSpaceships]

Yeah this is pretty common on Minmus. Don't know what causes it.

I had one of those at KSC, at the start of runway 9.

Not sure if its still there.

I found some similar things on Duna the other day. I was driving at night and it was quite visible, a glowing patch on the ground maybe 2.5m across, brighter in the middle.

Oddly it was not visible when the active vessel was an EVAing Kerbal. Showed up in the same place if either my rover (lights on or off) or flagpole was active.

Screenies to come.

It's a save/load issue with IVA lights. If you place multiple cockpits on the craft you can see multiple lights, taking up the pattern of the cockpit placement of the craft. Due to the shifting origin the game uses, they can jump to areas you haven't been to yet.

seriously someone make an SCP for this
