Whats Your Favourite Planet?

iDave

Not including Earth.
Jupiter for me, its bleeding massive.
It has that giant red spot which is actually a storm thats been raging for centuries.
First object viewed in space that had other objects orbiting it, further understanding our place in the universe.
Complex series of moons with active volcanos and possibly a liquid ocean.
We got to view a series of comets collide with it in 1993
2001 A Space Odessey was set there.

Whats yours?

Great nachos.

Jupiter, fascinating planet, huge, powerful, extremely violent & has a potentially habitable moon in Europa. Also thanks to the intensity of its gravity we avoid a large volume of asteroids which would probably have wiped us by now

Artful_Badger

The forest moon of Endor.

Pluto - still a planet in my eyes!

Empfehlen

LV-426. It's a bit dark and windy but a quaint little planet nonetheless. Only problem is that there are some monsters lurking about the place, but they mostly come out at night, mostly.

mr kr0nik

Saturn,
You'll probably never see a bad picture of it.

Jupiter is my favourite too, it's been protecting us from floating debris for billions of years, it's like the solar systems big brother

Jupiter.

The streaky looking pictures of it look like a big marble I had as kid.

Which planet were the Prawns from?

Nowhere in particular, they were just an analogy for black people. In the original version the prawns were meant to be black people. But they couldn't get funding so they changed them to aliens instead.

thought this was a thread about plants and I got excited to talk about flowers to be honest

PizzamanIRL

Mercury. They have lovely friendly people there. The crime rate is very low too.

Mars - best part of Holst's "The Planets"

Also represents the God of War so it wins every time!

Venus, it's the most interesting planet by far. Spacecraft landing on Venus didn't even need a parachute or engines, the atmosphere did all the work.

If Dinosaurs were so smart they would have ducked, but they didn't, so tough t1tties to 'em

Saturn gets my vote as it sounds the closets thing to a Saturday. No doubt they have more than one Saturday in their week.

Can Earths evil twin be trusted though


Glad Mercury got a vote, all on its own at the front getting blasted by the Sun all the time

Whats the name of the planet that some astrologists believe could be an Earth 2? Its not Mars

Neptune. It's so amazing to look at, all those blues. Goes well with a smoke.

Gliese 259 (something like that).

I dunno man.. −160 °C is a bit chilly never mind the deadly radiation! Would be nice to find out whats under the Ice tho, if there's any life in the ocean.

Karl Stein

Saturn looks amazing. If we were trying to attract alien tourists to our solar system Saturn would be all over the advertisements.

Finding out whats under the Europan ice should be made a priority by the various space agencies. Feck Mars!

Yeah Mars is gay... unless it turns out it supported sophisticated life before it lost its atmosphere that would be cool.. imagine if they found a load of castles or Martian dinosaurs.. faack space is cool!

Jupiter is actually likely a failed star.

I'm a Venus fan as well. Loads of volcanoes spitting sulphur and carbon, a hell like atmosphere.

Plus a year is only 225 days so Christmas would come quicker each year.

Akrasia

I love the life sized paper mache model of planet Earth that the Brain made as his only successful attempt at taking over the world

Wait, that's the one we're all on now!!

I miss real Earth

Duckworth_Luas

The Moon, although if you fold a piece of paper enough times you'll go to the Moon and catch AIDS!

Knifey Spoony

Jupiter for me. One of the first planets that I spotted in the night sky. Pretty cool planet: any bigger and it would have turned into a star, and would have been a second sun in the sky to us. It was by observing one of it's moons that gave rise to the idea that light had a finite speed.

sungear

Nibiru or Endor, cant decide
