A moon which genuinely is made of cheese.
Io on June 27, 1997 from the Galileo spacecraft, showing the relatively poorly seen hemisphere of Io (as in it was faced away from Galileo and the Voyagers during their close flybys, and much of it wasn't seen by Juno either, although it did cover some of it).

Most of the internet used to be like this. This is actually the default, it took companies enclosing the internet and adding weird, soul-killing incentives to make people behave the way they do now. In a way, there is truly nothing special about Wikipedia except that it survived longer.
“Wikipedia is this economic anomaly. In many ways, it’s sort of magical that people will just volunteer without explicit economic incentives to create artifacts that are meant to share knowledge with everyone in the world”
