The solar system that plays host to the clumsy waltz that is the Kerbal space program. the orbits of all seven planets and their moons (asteroids not included, please purchase seperately). tell me in the comments if you want details of each planet. enjoy

    thank you! :D and ah okay maybe i should have been more specific, the planets aren't to scale, but that was just because there isn't room. jool isn't actually the same size as the sun anywhere on this diagram :b it's smaller on the orbital map and even the small segment of the sun that is visible on the right is twice the diameter of the planet. you do win the high five though, i cut Pol out of the map! *Highfive*

    Nice save, +1. And about "something rather massive"... Is it that the planets to the right are not to scale? Or that Jool has only 4 moons on the scheme? Or that Jool is as big as the sun? Do I win a high five?

    Yes it is similar to our solar system, that's how solar systems form, small dense planets nearer the sun becoming larger and less dense as their orbits move father out, then after a certain point there are dwarf planets. this is the same in almost all stable solar systems. no, Eeloo is not the wrong colour, in the game it's a ball of sand and ice. it's dirty yellow and off blue-white and covered in cracks, which (as you can probably guess) is impossible to recreate in 4 pixels..

    Is it the fact that the kerbol system is similar to the solar system? Moho=Mercury, Eve=Venus, Kerbin=Earth (Mun=Moon and Minmus=3753 Cruithne), Duna=Mars, Dres=Ceres, Jool=Jupiter, and Eeloo=Pluto? Is it the fact that Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune aren't represented by anything? Or is it that Eeloo is the wrong color here?

    there's something rather massive about this that you might pick up on if you're familliar with KSP... first one to spot it wins uh.. wins a high five.
