FACTS:
Uranus is leaking. Plasmoids are globs of ionized gases expelled from massive objects like Uranus. These bursts of atmospheric material are flung away from Uranus by its magnetic field
Uranus is unique in that it's tilted in a way that makes it look like it's spinning sideways.
Uranus
is huge, it's 4 times wider than Earth. It's so huge in fact you could fit 63 Earths inside Uranus.
Uranus is surrounded by rings.
Uranus is very cold, but very windy.
Due to the gasses emitted by Uranus, one whiff of Uranus would kill an elephant.

The German pronunciation of anus.
https://www.youtube...watch?v=BMwEdmOidec Any German hearing the Greek god of the sky, Ouranos, would clearly hear their version of "anus". [doctorremulac3, Feb 25 2024]

What are you calling it?
"All about Uranus"?
"Know Uranus"?
|
|
|
LOL! Okay, you inspired me to a new low. |
|

The cover shows someone looking up at the night sky from this angle. (link. but with more of a night sky in the background and more zoomed in on the guy from a slightly lower angle) And yes, I am deeply ashamed. |

You inspired him to a new blow. |

From an anno a couple of years ago: |

|
(Sung to the tune of the Slinky commercial theme song) |
|
|
It's his, it's hers, it's theirs, it's ours, a fact that is quite plainus. |
|
|
It's there for all the world to share, it's mine and it's Uranus. |
|
|
By the way, the third moon orbiting the planet Uranus is called Azcraque. Im not kidding, look it up. |

Stick to the facts, man. It'll be worth it. |
|
|
Did I get anyone with that? |
|
|
Hey, could have been true. I know some scientists, they can absolutely have an immature senses of humor. |
|
|
Okay, which begs the next question, did the scientist/astronomer that named Uranus know he was making a joke? So I looked it up. Johann Elert Bode was German. (still is I guess, he's just dead now but I digress) so I'm thinking he just innocently picked the name of a Greek deity to match the nomenclature of the other planets. |
|
|
But then I put "your anus" into Google translate. "Dien anus". |
|
|
Anus in German is "anus". |
|
|
Yea. He knew. It was supposed to be funny. Well played Mr Bode, well played. |
|
|
AH-nos IS the German pronounciation of anus and the name was selected by a German so... we can close the book on that one. |
|
|
<accidentally erased. I will see if I can remember what I initially wrote> |
|
|
I find this conversation to be completely non-plutonic. |
|

Okay, this is how to do this, start off by telling a fact about Jupiter, Huh, this is interesting, Jupiter has 73 moons. then Saturn Despite being thousands of times larger than Earth, its rapid rotation makes its days less than half as long. then switch to the Uranus facts acting oblivious to the double entendres. |
