I am so unscientific that it's terrible, but like many others, I look at the grandeur of the creation in great wonder.
I recently watched a new video, What You Aren't Being Told About ASTRONOMY. So here is my very unscientific question  . I was really thrilled with the photos in the video. I had not thought of which planet or moon was the most beautiful before, but wow! They are so gorgeous!
I won't be able to reference the moons, but if you can, please include them in your answers. I want to include Eris, Pluto, the sun, and TNOs in my alphabetically listed query, and I will only use photos/illustrations from Wikipedia. Some of the photos/illustrations aren't that good, because they are so distant and/or small.
So I am wondering which are the top three heavenly bodies in my list below that you find most beautiful and why.
(Now, let's see if this works!)

I choose Earth as #1. It is just so knock-your-socks-off gorgeous -- the colors, the atmosphere, wow!
2nd, Jupiter. I love the swirls and whorls in the atmospheric disturbances -- and that storm that is visible!
3rd, the Hubble photo of Saturn is fabulous.
4th and 5th, the colors of Neptune and Uranus are cool.
Wish I could find the moons -- some of them would knock some of the above off my scale!
