Eeloo

Description

Eeloo, the poster-child for ice worlds, is remarkably white and very difficult to look away from once clearly observed. It hosts a significant gravity well and encourages kerbal scientists to believe that a significant portion of the cosmos may consist of ice cream scoops.

Trivia

Eeloo stands among the celestials with the most interesting topology around, with combinations of fissures and stepped or recursive craters. Its atmosphere is thinner than Duna, but its lower temperature and lower gravity may effectively balance out and keep the atmosphere experience the same. It currently does not have an interesting biome map, but it does have custom ground scatters.

Eeloo's highly eccentric orbit takes it both inside the orbit of Lindor and outside the orbit of Hamek. So depending on where it is at the time, Eeloo can be either the 8th, 9th or 10th celestial body in order of distance from the Sun.
