    True, the astronomers looking for extraterrestrial life tend to operate under a Earth-centric bias as we are the most familiar with life that evolved here. There could be infinite possibilities for what form life can take on other planets. Who knows, we could run into a race so completely different from us that we couldn't understand them... And they say lack of communication kills.:frowning2:

    Jupiter. Absolutely beautiful, and it's moons are a whole field of fascinating study. Definitely check out NASA's pages on Jupiter if you want a night of mind-blowing information.

    Exoplanet, been watching The Orville and daydreaming the day human race could travel through the universe and discovered various life forms / cultures. I wish I could live long enough :disappointed:

    Close call between Saturn and Pluto! But I'll go with Saturn, for its mythology: he is also Father Time, he makes you think about seizing the day and all that. Also rings are cool :slight_smile:

    I voted for Pluto.I have a soft spot for Pluto. It's the smallest (I'm petite too) and is an underdog.

    Since childhood, I've always been fascinated with the gas planets. Jupiter and Saturn, especially.

    I actually like how the planets are all named after Roman Gods, so it kind of says the Abrahamic religions weren't cool enough to name stuff after instead the Ancient Greeks, Romans and other cultures get to name all of the stuff. My favorite planet is Venus and from study, Saturn because one of the moons of Saturn called Titan is another possible area for colonization because it would be easier to colonize than other planets. Venus is really interesting and could be an example of what climate change can do to a planet, if we only knew what Venus was like billions of years ago.

    I would have to say Mars, even though all the planets are nice, the fact Mars is the most similar to Earth is why I like it.
