    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?

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
