As a child, I thought Neptune was the coolest fucking planet ever. It was blue. A gas giant. Didn't have a ridiculous "your anus" type name, and had some crazy facts such as having winds almost twice the speed of sound, an atmosphere full of ice and frozen methane. I'll leave the rest to the wiki article

Today, I still think Neptune is the coolest celestial body in the solar system. Young sodi had the right idea.

What's your favorite celestial body? Can be outside the solar system. No rules on this. Except for choosing Sagittarius A. Fuck Sagittarius A.

Bonus content: sonorification of emitted frequencies of planets and bodies. In other words, these are what rhe frequencies of various space things would sound like.

Earth's frequencies sounding like birds (space) is most terrifying thing ever and I hate it. There should not be birds in space.

like 99% of the ones for sale anywhere on Earth have been illegally poached.

This is what I meant I needed to fact check because

i just would imagine/hope that most reputable nursery specimens nowadays are cuttings or tissue culture.

I feel like you have to be right about that. I do know that the amount of poaching decreased after the penalty for doing so was made more severe a few years ago as well
