Perhaps you've heard of comparative genomics, but have you heard of comparative emojinomics? 🧪
In 2020, I rated the most common microbe emoji on their microbiality and charisma. Two of the designs have been updated since then, so it's time to revisit this important task.

Both Mercury and Venus have tails, like comets.
Mercury's is formed from sodium atoms being blasted free of its 'exosphere' (like an atmosphere, but too thin to behave like gases), and then fluorescing, due to cosmic radiation (like our polar auroras).
