Edna - Galileo88/JNSQ GitHub Wiki
A lonely and dark world within the local asteroid belt, most likely named after a very grumpy female scientist, Edna turned out to be harder to recognize as a planet than Dres was. Kerbal astronomers eventually realized that unlike any of the large asteroids around, Edna was particularly round, and that it would, in few but regular cases, occlude something or be occluded.
Edna has the slightest more gravity than Minmus but spins incredibly fast, earning a day length of just 3 hours. It is purported that landing tall craft here becomes dangerous. In the Incredibles movie she hates capes... We can say that here she hates towers. Edna is expected to be as boring as Dres, and that's fine, however, this planet truly stands out for its few and large white spots, clearly observable from high orbit. It has been proposed that a kerbal can jetpack from low Edna orbit to Dak, and land there, or the opposite, but not both ways.
