1. Let's start off by naming our favorite moons. Mine would basically be Iapetus.

Probably our moon, because it's the most important one to people on earth. Or some of those cool one's around Jupiter...someday I'll go alien hunting on an exotic resort their in the huge jungles like in Avatar.

Ou moon needs a name. It's just "the moon" while other moons are stuff like "Titan".

I likeSaturn the best.

When did Saturn become a moon?
My favorite moon is Charon, just because I like the name and he's the ferry-guy to the underworld. And yes, just because PLuto's not a planet doesn't mean it can't have moons.
Don't worry Pluto. I'm not a planet either.

Pluto's moon is bigger than itself. I prefer Io. I don't know why. Just do.

I like Saturn the best. Because of the rings.


It is not the only planet that has rings, it just has the bigger ones. Do you know that Proxima Centauri is the closest star to our solar system and is nearly 4 light years away? My favorite moon is Mimas from Saturn, I like it because of the name and I made a search of it some years ago.

Alright, you caught me. This is my favorite moon just because of it's crater and how it survived the impact. Someone also renamed the thread name. I can tell why.

Yea, that's my second favorite.
Here is an image of the moons compared by size to Earth and Venus that I made. (Just a guess)

You should notice that our Moon is bigger than Europa. The small moon below earth is Iapetus. It's biggest crater is barely visible. The tiny dot below Titan is Mimas.

I like the sun, 'cause it's kind of the reason we're alive.

It's about that new planet Tyche that everybody is theorizing. They have no hard evidence, but there is something out in the Oort cloud that is disrupting the orbital paths of every comet we've seen come in and out of the inner solar system. It could easily be a rock belt or cloud of some sort, so don't bet any money on it being a super evil giant gas planet.

How about Luna, not only is it Latin for moon it's also the Roman name for the goddess of the moon.

Titan is the best, having earth like atmosphere is one step closer to being as awesome as earth.

Really, no planets will ever be as amazing as earth: it's complex systems, It's distinguished atmosphere, it's LIFE

I love earth; It's the best planet ever. We humans are demons, devouring it's riches. Not that I can do anything about it.

Yeah but no one ever says, "Look, it's Luna" they say "Look, it's the moon".
Who here believes in life on Mars? (Not like aliens in UFOs and stuff, more like bacteria from three millennia ago.)
