Terrestrial Critter
One of the blog I subscribe to is NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day, and over time I have noticed something about my responses to the pictures they have there, to wit: I am basically bored by pictures of stars or other space objects (galaxies, nebulae, etc.), but vastly interested in pictures that show planets or landscapes.

"Pretty but boring" is my favorite.
You seem to like the close-up views.
The pretty but boring one actually looks like it could be the surface of a planet to me.
I've always liked learning about the planets more than learning about the bigger stuff, too. Probably because I like to imagine what it would be like for a human to visit there (and walk around looking around) or for some life form to live there.
