Uranus is weird. It’s unlike any other planet in our solar system for a number of reasons, but its most bizarre feature is that it rotates at a roughly 90-degree angle to all the other planets. Scientists believe that its strange orientation is due to an impact that the planet sustained early in its life, but they’re just beginning to understand how this particular circumstance is affecting the planet on a day-to-day basis.
In a new paper published in the Journal of Geophysical Research, scientists explain that, based on models of the planet and its magnetosphere, it’s likely that the solar wind streaming from the Sun actually enters and flows through the magnetosphere rather than flowing around it....

Before even looking, I’m betting at least half of the comments on this thread are fart jokes.
That’s so sad.
Yes, yes. Of course, you are correct.

It is such an important planet and so vital to our existence.

At my age once a day would be great!

Great headline. I admit I was immediately thinking Babylon Bee.
Blame it on
The Dog,

Beavis and Butthead, please pick up the wbrown courtesy phone.
Take care of Uranus before mine,pal! (wink)

Them's fightin' words!
Uranus is weird.
And just how the Hell would YOU know?
So much bad humor could have been avoided if they’d just named the damn thing Ouranos. Or Pluto, instead of that thing they demoted from planet status.
The jokes just write themselves...
Due to radiation and chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer (and nearby liver possibly being affected), I leak gas at least 10-15 times a day. Not enough Gas-X in the world to stop it, but it does help a lot.
I try to stay away from people during a long toot but I have seen bodies lying behind me in the Canned Fruits and Vegetable aisles in food stores. Sorry about that.
I do wear a “Do not light a match or smoke around me” sign when I go out. Only lost a couple of jerks who couldn’t read or refused to obey. They were millenials so no one has missed them yet. /SARC
Re Att: 50th annual bean supper tomorrow hight at 6:00 in the church multi-purpose room. Music will follow”.
If they light any supper candles this will be the first church ever launched into orbit.
The music that will follow will be “Fly Me To The Moon”.
Isn’t 17 times a day the average?
