Bop
Bop is one of the five natural satellites of Jool. It is very similar to Gilly. Bop has a large crater with a white rim. Some of its mountains rise nearly 22 km above the surface. The brownish color may come from solid carbon, or iron oxide.
Easter Eggs
A dead Space Kraken is located on Bop.
Reference Frames
Template:ReferenceFrames It is unwise to orbit at an altitude of under 10 km, as you will almost always encounter a mountain.
