Tam - Galileo88/JNSQ GitHub Wiki

Tam

Description

Kuiper Kerman's belt has many notches and a very wide buckle. Little things like Tam appear through these notches, and kerbals who don't criticize him for wearing such a large belt do praise his eccentric fashion sense on the whole just as they praise his devotion to finding and naming the little things out there. Tam is far from the only one of its kind but it's the only one found captured by a larger body to date. Before Tam got its personal name, it carried a designation often given to the more interesting of its kind. For Tam it was KB 4089848.

Trivia

Tam holds JNSQ records for being both the smallest and most oblate celestial body. It is even smaller than stock Gilly.
