Saturn Voted World’s Best Planet
January 10th, 2007 by jrosenThe Hague, EU - Delegates all agreed that Jupiter
sure is large, Earth is chock-full of living organisms, and Venus is
bright, but once again Saturn, the ringed wonder between Jupiter and
Uranus, took home top honors in the sixth annual “World’s Greatest
Planet” competition. Top runners up included crowd-favorite Mercury and
dark-horse Twopiter, but neither were able to beat out Saturn’s 308
total votes. OGLE235-MOA53 and HD 114762 did not receive any votes
whatsoever, though WASP 2 did win an honorable mention for “Most
Interesting Name, Extrasolar Category.”
Convention delegates are chosen from the astronomy community, the
astrology community and through a lottery sponsored by Go Icecream!
Magazine. Each delegate receives three votes which are color
coordinated (blue, yellow, pink) and may be cast in any one of the ten
categories. The initial categories are chosen by the host committee and
include Best Color, Best Moons, Most Interesting Chemical Composition,
and Smelliest Atmosphere.
