Eeloo
Eeloo is a Dwarf Planet that was released in version 0.18.2 as a Christmas gift to the KSP community. It is the seventh and farthest planet from Kerbol most of the time, though it's orbit intersects Jool's, passing in front of it for a minority of its revolution period. The two planets are also locked in a 3:2 resonance, that avoids possible collisions.
Eeoloo's size and mass are very roughly comparable to that of the Mun, as is its lack of atmosphere. The physical characteristics of Eeloo are most likely an analogue of the ice moon Europa and its orbit to the dwarf planet Pluto, though both bodies are known to have a tenuous atmosphere.
There are plans for Eeloo to become the moon of a second gas giant and have an active surface, with cryovolcanic phenomena.[[1]]
Topography
The surface of Eeloo is relatively smooth and covered in ice, with deep canyons exposing the surface below. It is unclear if there are any peaks above 2 km high.
Orbits
A synchronous orbit is possible, at an altitude of ~683.9 km.
