hello. i am taking a planetary astronomy class and at the end there is a final project due. the project is "designing" a satellite mission within our solar system. we are to pick something (one thing) and visit it (it can be anything from asteroids to planets to moons, excluding earth, the sun, and our moon). so we have to pick a place to go, decide why its important we go there, and choose the instruments necessary (it kind of is supposed to be a mock proposal to nasa, or at least treated as such). my problem is I am not sure where to go. i was thinking going to neptune and going into the dark spot to measure wind speeds and all the particles wizzing around but that doesn't seem too interesting. i was also considering doing something with the magnetic field because it is so off center and oddly positioned but i don't know. is there anything i could do with gravity or something more astrophysically involved? any help i would be grateful for because i don't want to be stuck doing something boring, especially because a fifteen minute presentation has to be done on it. thanks again
