Mars? Jupiter? Pluto (regardless of its label?) Watch this video, assembled by 18-year-old Tomislav Safundžic from Croatia, and you just might be reminded that it’s Earth.

    I have a limited frame of reference.

    That reminds me, I haven’t heard from the Flat Earthers for a while.

    My favorite planet? It is KOI-1686.01, which ties with the moon KOI-433.02 m as having as much as 0.93 on the Earth Similarity Index. After just 15 years of exoplanets, having such habitable Earth similar candidates are just awesome!

    [But I believe they have retracted, or at least reassessed, some ESI = 0.99 candidates since last I looked. :-/]

    Purely visual interest, Saturn is my favourite planet. I would love to see HD video from one of it’s moons looking into the sky at those marvellous rings!
    in regards to exploration, it’s definately Mars. Probably no life, and never has been, but it’s such a beautiful landscape.
