Yes, it's time to Rock the Inner Geek and proclaim your love for what you consider to be what's hot and what's...well, boring in terms of planetary excitement. Criteria may include dynamicism, color, scale, grandeur, crater-counting wrist torture, budgetary reality, and whatever else you might consider relevant. I'll open with my own picks, without giving any particular reasons. (Earth can count if you like)
In descending order... Most Interesting: 1.) Io 2.) Titan 3.) Europa 4.) Enceladus 5.) Mars 6.) Triton 7.) Venus 8.) Pluto 9.) Dione 10. Iapetus Least Interesting: 1.) Rhea 2.) Luna 3.) Mercury 4.) Oberon 5.) Mimas 6.) Tethys 7.) Callisto 8.) Ganymede 9.) Earth 10.) New Jersey -------------------- ...if you don't like my melody, i'll sing it in a major key, i'll sing it very happily. heavens! everybody's all aboard? let's take it back to that minor chord...

Most interesting object in the solar system: Mars - come on... volcanoes the size of France, a canyon longer than the Atlantic is wide, endless plains of ochre dust, lavendar dawn and dusk skies, life hiding under the rocks or just beneath the surface, destined to be Mankind's next home in space. I rest my case.
Most boring object in the solar system: Howard, off the Halifax adverts. No contest. -------------------- |
