Apparently, you need a moon to see Uranus.

There is a lot of methane gas in the atmosphere around Uranus.

Nope, my Uranus is hiding out. It would not be a surprise to view. It may be gross though.

You don't get a straight line like that very often.

You'd be surprised here.

Do a search on Uranus.

Sometimes when I’m bored I either look at nunchuck fails on YouTube or I type in Uranus on the search bar at the Freeper homepage...

For some odd reason it’s always good for a chuckle dot-dot-dot

They're both headed for Uranus to wipe out the Klingons.
