Eeloo
Eeloo is a dwarf planet and is the outermost celestial body of the Kerbol system. it has no moons or atmosphere and functions as the analogue for the real life dwarf planet pluto. it is an icy world with an elliptical inclined orbit that intercepts Jool's orbit. The two planets are locked in a 3-2 resonance ,which coupled with their different inclinations ensures they cannot collide. eeloo's distant eccentric and inclined orbit in addition to its low gravity make encounters challenging. its distance from kerbin also tends to make missions very lengthy. eeloo's eccentric orbit means that at specific points it is incredibly close to jool and in fact that for brief periods is closer to the sun than jool.
Synopsis
"Eeloo is Kerbol's most distant orbiting body. this dwarf planet seems to enjoy its lonely highly eccentric orbit, though it does dip into Jool's for brief visits. missions here are costly given eeloo's orbit low gravity lack of atmosphere and spotty solar power potential. even so the difficult trip is worth it to see the frozen cliffs up close"
Surface
the surface of eeloo is relatively smooth and covered in greenish-white ice with deep canyons exposing the brownish rock below. a few craters are visible but not nearly as one might expect for a body without an atmosphere suggesting the ice on the surface is subject to erosion of some sort.
Science Regions
Eeloo has four surface regions and it has the highest scientific multiplier of any celestial body in the kerbolar system. eve has a similar multiplier, but its higher surface region count give it a higher total science yield than eeloo. eeloo is the third most science-rich celestial body behind dres and eve.
