RAB 58E - LouisB3/Grannus-Expansion-Pack GitHub Wiki
Description
RAB-58E is a small moonlet orbiting on the edge of Epona space. Its unusual orbit suggests that it may be a captured body, but where did it come from? Is it a tiny rock or a frozen snowball? Until we can get a closer look, it's anyone's guess.
