Whether it’s the most interesting, the most beautiful, or the strangest one for you, which is, in your opinion, the best moon in the Solar System?

Could it be the Earth’s own moon, being so large in comparison to the size of our Planet? Perhaps little Phobos and Deimos of Mars? The Galilean moons of Jupiter? Titan, Saturn’s largest moon and the only one in the Solar System with a thick atmosphere? Farther out, you have the moons of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto…

    In no particular order, and I may pick up new fascinations and change my mind here and later:

    Titan (Saturn). Has a thick atmosphere and rain.

    Ganymede (Jupiter). Largest moon in the Solar system. Could be mistaken for our own.

    Triton (Neptune). Orbits retrograde. Larger than Pluto. Was probably once a dwarf planet in its own right.

    Mimas (Saturn). Looks like a Death Star.

    Honourable mentions: Saturn’s rings. Billions of moons. The other large planets’ ring systems. Cruithne.

    Europa (Jupiter). All these worlds are yours except Europa. Attempt no landings there.
