Jupiter. It has at least 63 moons!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jupiter's_natural_satellites
Some of them very interesting.
It also has rings (something what most people don't know). It's also a meteorite sucking up device: many meteorites disappear within Jupiter before the meteorite has the chance to hit Earth. Many astronomers think a planet system with something like a Jupiter which kills many dangerous rocks, is a prerequisite for the existence of life on planets in the same planetary system.
Because of the possibility of a liquid ocean (with maybe even life) on Jupiter's satellite Europa, there has been great interest to study the icy moons in detail.

I love mars, because they found evidence of blue green algae, meaning that their was oxygen there, Its is fantastic to know that other beings had inhabited the galaxy, and I'm curious about how they might have been extincted, and if us humans are following that same path of destruction, talking about global warming or in other words destroying the human race.

Well, if you look up, and I mean straight up, then look at the star a little bit to the left, and a tad bit south, the 2nd planet away from that star is my favorite.

mine is not a planet, but a moon. Europa has a large ocean of water, and since it is being stretched and contracted by Jupiter's immence gravitational field, it is warm enough to support sea dwelling creatures
