Well, there was no way I could not vote for the galaxy group with that little blue rascal bursting with hot new stars and nebulae. I love that stuff, and it gets even better when those starburst galaxies are seen close to an old yellow elliptical. What a contrast. Wow.

Okay, but even I have to admit that the Enceladus animation was amazing. It was like seeing a big lumbering spaceship firing its three rocket engines and lifting off, probably from Titan or Saturn in the background!

And in my opinion Enceladus is the second most amazing "planetary body" of our solar system - so what if it is a moon? - although it's a couple of lightyears behind the Earth, of course.

So I had to vote for the galaxies, but the Enceladus animation was amazing!!!

Mars gets my vote, that enceladus image is only amazing because it is a merged photo, it says so if you click on the link for more information. The mars image is pure and shows that liquid water once flowed along this once glorious planets surface.
