Iapetus

So basically when the sun hits Iapetus it melts all the snow and ice on that side of the moon. The water vapor then blows around to the dark side and forms frost giving it the white sheen it has. It's about as close as we can find in our solar system to planet Hoth.

The Moon

The moon gets a few bonus points for being our moon which is cool because you can see it without a telescope at night and sometimes during the day. We have sent people to walk on it and someday we may even have scientific laboratories on the moon. Just imagine the wonderful pictures a telescope on the dark side of the moon would capture. The Moon however loses a point for resembling Folor. Folor is a moon from the Star Wars video game X-Wing which is pretty cool but because it wasn't in the original trilogy I have to deduct one point. It also loses a point because of funding cuts to Nasa which means that at least in the immediate future we will not be returning to the moon. :'-(

Io

Despite being cold enough to be covered in layers of sulphur dioxide frost, this large inner moon of Jupiter is the most volcanic world known, spitting out 100 times as much lava as all Earth's volcanoes can muster, from a surface area just 1/12th the size. Io's surface is dotted with bubbling lakes of molten rock, the largest of which, Loki Patera, is more than 200 kilometres across." read more
Io can be found orbiting the planet Jupiter and sounds like our own version of Mustafar. This would have been a five star moon had Mustafar shown up in the original Star Wars movies.

Pan and Atlas

Although Pan and Atlas resemble flying saucers they lose points in the kick ass ratings for not being anything like a planet from Star Wars and being kind of boring. They do get a boost in the kick ass ratings for possibly being an alien mother ship waiting to attach Earth.
Kick Ass Rating:

Titan

I'll be the first to admit that Titan should get a kick ass rating of five stars. In fact when I wrote up this blog last week it had five stars. This whole paragraph was about how cool the moon was and how it was like so many planets from Star Wars and it got bonus points for being like Earth as well. Then I found out about the next moon and sadly Titan had to take a hit in the kick ass ratings.
Kick Ass Rating:

Mimas

OK so right out of the gate Mimas would get a kick ass rating of five stars just for looking like the Death Star. Add to that the fact that it has temperature pasterns that resemble Pac-Man and this moon gets the lock on most kick ass moon. I mean really how much cooler can it get than this?

I want to thank Mike for the link that prompted this post and if you are interested you can read more about weird worlds on the New Scientist website.
