Today we're going to the planet Vulcan - a planet closer to the sun than Mercury - that we actually thought existed IRL for over 50 years! Some astronomers claimed to have seen it and others used discrepancies In the orbit of Mercury to detect it. Only problem was - It never existed! Despite being in astronomy textbooks for decades, it was proven to not actually exist when the data was explained through Albert Einstein and the relativistic effects of the Sun's gravity.
But what if it was actually real??? Using a new planet mod for Kerbal Space Program that adds it to the game, we can explore Vulcan as it would have been if it had indeed existed. Check it out!!
