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...

Sorry about the captions, ngunn...OWW is correct on the identifications.I'm a real space cadet, but in a totally different way. The toughest one would probably be the second image on the top row of the Tohil Montes on Io. I love that image in particular, part of a five-frame mosaic from I32 in October 2001. I put it above Everest for the echo effect. I was actually working on a key sheet to go with the poster with the place names included (not like the GRS needs an introduction).
VP, I'll tag-team with JJ against you in the deathmatch just on principle. I did like the "California of the solar system" statement, though. It has the ring of truth. On second thought here...JJ, when has Rhea ever hogged the public spotlight?!? Here? -------------------- ...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...

VP, I'll tag-team with JJ against you in the deathmatch just on principle. I did like the "California of the solar system" statement, though. It has the ring of truth. On second thought here...JJ, when has Rhea ever hogged the public spotlight?!? Here? Thanks for the backup; I'll need it. As for Rhea, I was really grasping at straws. "Better put *something* there! But what...ah, Rhea! One person in a thousand talks about it." -------------------- Mayor: Er, Master Betty, what is the Evil Council's plan?
Master Betty: Nyah. Haha. It is EVIL, it is so EVIL. It is a bad, bad plan, which will hurt many... people... who are good. I think it's great that it's so bad. -Kung Pow: Enter the Fist |
