OTHER than Earth? (this thread is another version of the "fave planet" thread)

My fave? Look at my screen name. :D

Jupiter just appeals to me for some reason. I have no idea why.

earth's bitch, the moon

The poll doesn't offer an "other" option. I would have to say the Saturnian moon Titan is one of the most interesting objects in the immediate solar system.

The moon's a big chunk of woman-ness. I don't swing that way.

Hmm... Is it possible for a mod to modify the poll, or would it need to be deleted and replaced?

w00t!!

THE MOON IS PWNING!!

Nahh. Don't worry about it. If someone feels that strongly about it, they can do the same thing I did ... post! :D

I love the asteroids. It's not on the list. :(

Comets are nice too. I love iceballs flying through the galaxy.

Yeah, I agree with that one :)

Time to throw my weight behind Jupiter. Again.

Some would say that the Earth is our moon. But that would belittle the name of our moon, which is: the Moon.

Other added. And ATHF rocks. I don't know if you can see this, but I am doing it as hard as I can.

Other added.
Thanks :)

How'd you get 11 options?

Mods cheat.

That explanes why america was so eager to plant its pole into it.....

Other: Namely, Europa.

Of course, if I had to choose from the poll list only, I'd say Uranus, because it's neat all lying on its side and everything.

Thank god, someone got that.

I like the Kuiper Belt, the origin of most short-period comets.

Bump :D

go go Charon, mightiest of all objects. Especially mightier than pluto. :P

Free-floating alien obelisks. Definitely. :D

I disagree! *drives away quickly*

The Asteroid Bel!, Gotta love big chunks of rock floating around in circles going nowhere in Space!

Saturn is pretty awesome to me.

the Sun. Something that big, such high temeperatures, never ceases to amaze me. And the fact that there are stars millions of times bigger is mind boggling.

i like saturn a lot......anyone have any neato photos of saturn? *swoons*

Sedna is pretty cool. Still has its original smell.

actually, the biggest a star can get is to about 200 or 300 or 400 times bigger than Sol.

cha'pow!

I can't believe I'm the onlt one who voted for Neptune! It's sooo ... blue.

Check this site out for images of all the planets, btw http://www.nineplanets.org/

very nice! thank you.

Saturn

Favorite for asthetics is Neptune. Very pretty combinations of blue. I used a pic of Neptune as my desktop for a while, posted a pic of it in a thread here somewhere.

Favorite for interest is the Pluto/Charon double, because there is still so much we don't know about them. The fact the jury is still out on whether Pluto is even a planet just makes this pair even more interesting.

Sorry, i meant to say million times brighter.

Comets ... comets are very damn cool.

I think that they've settled for calling it a planetoid.

Sedna is pretty cool. Still has its original smell.
*Deep breath*

Ahhhh!! Nothing like the smell of rock-hard nitrogen in the morning! :D

Sorry, i meant to say million times brighter.
There IS one star that is 40 million times brighter: LBV 1806-20. google it. :D

Is it a supernova?

Is it a supernova?
Not for another 2 million years. But it is pretty much the BIGGEST and BRIGHTEST living star in the entire galaxy.

That's going to be one bitch of a supernova and black hole. Good thing it's a bit far away.

I'm torn.
Jupiter - almost big enough to be a sun.
Cruithne - just coz it does horseshoe orbits around Earth

Sedna is pretty cool. Still has its original smell.
yeah, sedna, quaoar, and all their pals in the kuiper belt and inner oort cloud

I'm with you on Neptune. Definitely my favorite.

its pretty clearly a perturbed kuiper belt object, bianaries seem common out there for some reason. also their is a whole class of KBOs called plutinos in the same basic orbital relationship with neptune.

Jupiter - almost big enough to be a sun.
Not quite. It needs to be 80 times bigger/more massive than it is now to even begin to be a star.

I said the sun, cos I don't fancy the cold. :p

How many have voted "Uranus"? C'mon, Goofball, you know you want to vote!
