I& #39;m a planetary scientist with published papers specifically on Saturn& #39;s atmosphere/rings, so thought it& #39;d be fun to rank the "Ringed Planet" emojis

First I& #39;m gonna assume they& #39;re trying to be SATURN ok, so I& #39;ll be ranking their accuracy based on that. Results end of thread!https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten">

Saturn itself – v nice job capturing the golden yellow shades of Saturn& #39;s cloud tops, only this one definitely shows the famous polar hexagon. Overall winner in atmosphere!
Rings – well done, includes Cassini division (gap), albeit a bit large
Tilt: 45°, should be 26.7°

Saturn itself – atmosphere is ok, perhaps a little too colorful, but the bands are reasonable. No polar hexagon
Rings – includes Cassini division (gap), this time a little narrow. Rings too close to Saturn, extra gap is nice tho
Tilt: 22°, should be 26.7°, v close!

Saturn itself – the banded structure Saturn has is not well represented here, instead exhibiting an unusual whispy appearance with no hint of polar hexagon.
Rings – no gaps shown at all, rings aren& #39;t wide enough
Tilt: 45°, should be 26.7°, boo

Saturn itself – this is a simple one, but the banded structure is at least shown in an organized way. Colors disturbing
Rings – no gaps shown, rings aren& #39;t wide enough, lack of detail. At least Google& #39;s above showed structure
Tilt: 25°, should be 26.7°, v good

Saturn itself – the most offensive of all. Where is the northern band going on top left? It should stay in its lane (latitude)! Makes it looks like planet is offset from rings!
Rings – how dare you, should exihibit symmetry!

Saturn – Banded structure Saturn looks fantastic, can forgive the colors being off. Potential hint of hexagon too.
Rings – the 3 major segments of rings (A,B,C) are shown beautifully. Shaded nicely, gap=perfect!
Tilt: should be 26.7°, measured near EXACTLY 26.7°!!

Number 1 is Whatsapp! Apple was a close second, but I was so impressed by Whatsapp-Saturn& #39;s tilt & rings being so accurate that it was an easy choice: the rings are Saturn& #39;s crown jewels!
As I said this assumes they& #39;re trying to match Saturn, may not be true. Thx for reading!https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🪐" title="Planet mit Ringen" aria-label="Emoji: Planet mit Ringen">
