Just to get things started, I think we can all agree that @elonmusk's tesla roadster is the WORST celestial object in the universe

6. Jupiter is an oddball: it is too massive.
7. Saturn is an oddball: its density is too low.
8. Uranus is an oddball: its axis is tipped onto its side.

From this we conclude that Neptune is the only planet in our solar system.

Wow mars is so beautiful 😍

[Shreyas Vissapragada @astroshrey]

Shockingly, S. Lock has proposed the moon to be worst planetary object. No one saw this coming, complete game-changer in the race for worst object #SLAPS2020

[AstroCup @astro_cup]

Going outside now to get some more moon-mars magic!

[AstroCup @astro_cup]

The sky this week has been such a blessing :’)

Every night has been a beautiful new configuration of moon, mars, jupiter and saturn 🤩

[Clive Mitchell @CliveBGS]

Yes #Rocktober we have been waiting for such a cool geo hashtag! OK here’s my challenge - tweet the most recent rock that comes up in your photos no matter how cringe worthy and don’t forget to add #Rocktober

[AstroCup @astro_cup]

@CliveBGS Would love to see an example of a cringe worthy rock

Astronomers have discovered a rogue Earth -- a planet about the size of our own, but floating in dark solitude between the stars. https://t.co/c1nLIk2AvH

[AstroCup @astro_cup]

Sigh. So much heartbreak. So many late nights biting my fingernails while my favorite mineral loses by 2 votes. I don't know what to do with myself at 1am now that #MinCup2020 is over

oh yeah #FatBearWeek !

[Mineral Cup #MinCup @MineralCup]

Please welcome our #MinCup2020 Champion to the stage, #MAGNETITE!

The ferrimagnetic iron oxide takes the crown comfortably (after far too many down-to-the-wire matches), possibly via magnetic attraction.

[AstroCup @astro_cup]

@kWalbolt Incidentally it is also a model of how 2020 is on track to end

[Kristen Walbolt @kWalbolt]

This is a model of what it could have looked like when a planet the mass of Mars slammed into the Earth to form our Moon. Loook at itttttt
