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...

In rough order of personal preference:
Earth Titan Venus Mars Europa Sol Io Enceladus Saturn (Rings and wierd looking atmospheric features at its poles) Jupiter Luna Yes I know its eleven, if that bothers any one take out mars for the reasons below. Plus honourable mentions for: Ceres Pluto (and moons) Vesta Chiron Just because ther could be interesting and no ones gone to look yet! Most overrated? Paradoxically I'm gonna have to say mars; yes its fascinating geologically and atmospherically, yes it may have habitatable spots, and I post under it, and, yes I put it in my top ten, but it sometimes gets so much attention I wonder if we haven't all got a bit too hung up over it. -------------------- |
