Favorite location in Destiny & nitpicks regarding the moon. (Destiny)

Venus is my favorite, or the black garden. They're lovely. I find venus very varied, sometimes the dirt & rocks are red, other times gray.

The moon is where I've spent the most time. Patrol for fun (leveling up) while first playing the campaign & currently harvesting around archer line-anchor of light.

I must note that I'm a little disappointed that the gravity doesn't change between the different locales. I think that could have really added some interesting variety to the gameplay. I remember monkeying with the gravity settings in Marathon & I fully expected to see that in Destiny, especially since, prelaunch, they were showing off things like the sunrise/sunset time lapse of the earth, moon, venus, & mars.

On another side note, has anyone noticed that Bungie very NEARLY got the sunrise/set correct on the moon? I was astounded at how much they totally nailed. It's gorgeous! Their minor mistakes were (1 fact, 1 opinion here):
1- Fact: That the stars should have moved with the sun, but instead they were static with the earth (which they got right as it does remain at one spot in the moon's sky all the time). I can see how that 'mistake' might have been done that way due to engine limitations (rotating skyboxes?).
2- Opinion: That the day-night cycle is entirely too fast. Yes, I know day-night cycles are accelerated in Destiny so that we can actually experience them as we play, but the day-night cycle of the moon matches it's orbit of the earth, which is 28 days long. Maybe they could have made the moon's day-night cycle take 72 real hours or something. I'd be curious at what rate they have the different planet's day-night cycle running & how it matches up to reality. Hmm, I smell a project.
