Are we accepting planets that orbit other planets? Because I've always thought Titan was neat. Nasa has a recording of the wind from a probe descender stage.

if it can support life, I'll allow it

[–] Canconda@lemmy.ca 14 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Jupiter. It's probably the reason all the other planets didn't get bombarded by shiz and tldr life on earth.

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

doesnt it also attract shiz towards the inner solar system, like Batman does to Gotham?

[–] Canconda@lemmy.ca 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I don't know. But clearly Bruce could fix Gotham if he didn't have a vigilante kink.

couldnt Jupiter just be a series of protective rings around the outer solar system and not a large overbearing presence? I didnt vote for Jupiter and its forever status frankly alarms me

Pluto. Anyone who says Pluto isn't a planet will get immediately blocked

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 7 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

It's the first discovered object in the Kuiper belt. It has a massive heart. It doesn't need to be a planet to be awesome.

[–] ashenone@lemmy.ml 1 points 13 hours ago

Fair, but your walking a fine line friend

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 2 points 13 hours ago

Isnt Pluto Mickey's pet dog?

[–] Klear@quokk.au 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

What are your thoughts on Ceres?

I will call Pluto a planet for the rest of my days.

[–] ashenone@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 hours ago

You hear about Pluto? That's messed up right?

yeah this one has lights and creatures

[–] gon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Too crowded honestly for me.

Venus. . It's the only planet that has boobs. Earth has boobs on it, sure, but imagine them planet sized!

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 2 points 15 hours ago

And if we'd ever colonise it we would probably use massive boob-shaped balloons.

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 4 points 17 hours ago

Mars because there is still a decent chance there is microbial life there.

Also Mars is a fascinating juxtaposition to earth, was there at some point plate tectonic recycling on Mars like there is on Earth (which keeps the surface of the Earth chemically dynamic)?

Boys go to Jupiter to get more stupider.

Girls go to Saturn to put a hat on

Neptune in my cocoon

[–] jewbacca117@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Always though Jupiter was pretty cool

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 1 points 15 hours ago

Probably pretty hot, due to pressure.
