Well our bretherin. our farthest relatives, i feel them as kin. We are inn the same system sharing The Sun as gravitanional point. With different aspects to nerd and get geeky about. Inspiration to both art, mythology and physics. Varies in size, shape, orbital tilt and character. They all feature something to marvel about. Earth is not in it cause we are actualy biassed to our relation to it. Pluto is also excluded for obvious reasons. So which of our distand cousins do you gravitate your geekyness mostly towards. -------------

Venus. It's the only one that I've seen in broad daylight. ------------- No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man. |

The Red Planet because it's the only planet with any possibility of sending men to land on at some point in the distant future. 
I also like "Mars" from Holst's Planets Suite, which sounds very much like this..... |

When I first looked at that huge crater on Mars, I thought I could see a smiley face.

Yes, the smiley crater is the main reason Mars is my fave planet in the system that's not Earth. ------------- “On the day of my creation, I fell in love with education. And overcoming all frustration, a teacher I became.” — Ernest Vong |

Uranus because it smells like a bakery and is tilted on a 98 degree angle. ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |

Neptune,  (make those planets, not stars)  because he's the roman cousin of PoseidonJust imagine that KC's On The Trails Of Neptune album would've been vetoed by the Island label Plus imagine the harshness of being stuck between Your Anus and Pluto The Dog's vicinity.    Second Mercury, because of Quicksilver Messenger Service |

Jupiter will cry if I forgot Ganymede and Europa's wonders and vote for Saturn and its rings + promising Titan & Enceladus. Venus also scored when 15 years ago it passed in front of the Sun which could feel deliciously vertiginous knowing its size is similar to our planet's; NOW Mars can be the place where we'd see the Earth do the same, so in spite of it's disappointingly weak magnetic field and not so exciting landscapes, Mars cannot be 100% ignored. As for the others, why don't we irresistibly listen for days to those who talk passionately about them... ------------- http://www.digger.ch/?lang=en" rel="nofollow - Support mine-clearing ! https://bandcamp.com/machinechance/?lang=en" rel="nofollow - bandcamp collection |

I like Jupiter's moon Io because it reminds me of a cheese & tomato pizza.  |

I deliberately chose the cheesiest picture of Io that most resembles a pizza. I suspect the colours may have been enhanced somewhat.

Yes, all of the other moons look very unappetising, although one of Mars' moons looks like a potato.

Voted Mars. Because of THamerV (my husband)....we shared being Aries, so always jokingly said we both were from Mars. Because of Holst's Mars. Because of a long piece of music husband wrote in the 60's, also entitled Mars, but nothing like Holst's. Because of Ray Bradbury and Edgar Rice Burroughs and Tom Rapp's song inspired by Ray Bradbury on "A Journal of the Plague Year." And probably more, but I haven't had any coffee yet. ------------- "Into every rain, a little life must fall." ~Tom Rapp |
