Other than the one we're standing on, you mean.
- dyukqu 10y agoWell said. But, you know, with all its moons and rings, Saturn is way cool-looking than any other planet in our Solar System. That's why they called it that way, I guess.
- prawn 10y agoPerhaps from a huge distance, but I think we win the title on any other scale. Earth is pretty stunning.
- isfield 10y agoIt's like the school playground arguments over which computer is better, the Amiga or Atari ST again. Only this time with planets. Imho Earth is better; it has a blitter... I mean liquid water oceans...
- ekianjo 10y agowithout having travelled to other planets its pretty premature to have any opinion.
- IndianAstronaut 10y agoSaturn also has way cooler moons. Enceladus with jets of water. Titan with lakes and a thick atmosphere. Mimas, which looks like the death star.
- Pigo 10y agoIt's hard not to find Saturn intriguing, the rings, the colors, the moons. It's the first time I saw something through a telescope that was awe inspiring. It almost seemed cartoonish with it's vibrancy and sharp edges. It's enough to make anyone want to take up astronomy.
- dekhn 10y agoyeah. I also found seeing the moons of jupiter around jupiter pretty amazing. can kind of see how galileo came to the conclusions he did.
