It's Saturday – have any big plans? No?

Great. Join us in looking at photos of the planets with professional pop star and amateur astronomer Ariana Grande.

The artist fired off a few planetary appreciation tweets on Saturday morning, expressing first her admiration for Jupiter.

"[N]othing is prettier than Jupiter," she wrote. True, I guess!

One hour and 25 minutes later, she had a change of heart: "update: Neptune is better".

Is Neptune better? According to NASA's official landing page for the planet, Neptune holds the title of "Windiest Planet" and has years that last an excruciating 60,190 days.

In contrast, NASA says Jupiter is impressively huge – "Twice as massive as all the other planets combined" – and has years that last a more reasonable 4,333 days.

We're on Jupiter's side here, Ariana.
