Most Interesting/Most Boring Objects in the Solar Options

[Exploitcorporati...]

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...

1.) Io
2.) Titan

Hmm, tough task. Of the objects that have been visited, these I find the most interesting:

1. Europa
2. Titan
3. Enceladus
4. Triton
5. Venus
6. Pluto
7. Mars
8. Ganymede
9. Charon
10. Io

I am not familiar enough with the science of gas and ice giants to rank Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. List may change radically as new information is learnt about the bodies in the solar system.


Most interesting objects that have not been visited yet:

1. Eris
2. Sedna
3. Haumea
4. Makemake
5. 2007OR10
6. <insert continuing list of the largest KBOs, typically sorted according to mass and diameter>

All objects are interesting when the solar system and the universe is viewed as a whole, since they are all pieces of the larger puzzle. But many pieces are almost identical, so in their own right, they might not be that interesting.
