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…

    Io, hands down.

    It’s volcanic because it’s being squished and pulled by Jupiter’s gravity.

      The view of Jupiter from there would be super impressive as well. From what I can gather the apparent size is 19 degrees, or 40 times the moon viewed from earth.

      Still not quite as extreme as it appeared in the 1998 game Battlezone sadly
