Some time ago, I somehow ended up subscribed to daily updates from Quora.com, the website where users can submit answers to other users’ questions. Apparently, I told Quora that I like dinosaurs, because most of the featured questions in my daily digest are about evolution.
Lately, however, I’ve been receiving more questions—and answers!—about astronomy. I love space exploration, and I dream of one day walking on the surface of the moon. It’s an outlandish dream, and one that I know is unlikely to ever be fulfilled, but I yearn for that opportunity.
So I was thrilled to see the kind of question that the science scolds on Quora hate—qualitative, rather than purely quantitative, in nature. The question, simply, was thus: “What is the creepiest planet in our solar system?”
