How to find planet with earthlike day/night cycle?

[nemolomen]

Here's the first few around Sol, should be landable. Quite surprising we still have CMDRs who've never noticed locations being different on different landings, and never seen a sunrise / sunset ...

Sunrises and sunsets are awesome, and then there are places like Mitterand Hollow...

Massive aside: I appreciate that Mitterand Hollow is a bug and it's been left that way for historical and hysterical reasons, but if it's tidally locked, shouldn't the stars and sun move and not the planet it's orbiting?

It's supposed to be tidally locked but isn't - when they typoed the orbital period, they didn't put the same typo in the rotational period. So the sun and stars do move ... on the relatively sensible every few hours rotation it has.
