A team of scientists from NASA used the old Voyager 2 data and found some interesting information about Uranus. Uranus had blasted a gas bubble of enormous size, it was nearly 22,000 times bigger than Earth. A detailed research report was published on NASA website recently. It was also published in the geophysical research Letters on 9th August 2019. Giba DiBraccio and Daniel Gershman, the two scientists who made this discovery on Uranus. found the data from the age-old data archive of NASA....Scientists have not explored Uranus with any probes till now. Therefore, DiBraccio and Gershman used the archived data on Uranus to find more information about the blue planet. According to the portal, they manually processed and checked the data available from Voyager 2. Using this thirty-year-old data helped them to find something interesting....

Dont get me started on Uranus....
If this is the case,
Why didn’t any observatory notice it?
With all the telescopes looking into space it appears everyone took the night off...
Maybe it was one of those clear plasmoids that comes from drinking too much chardonnay too quickly.
Will a rump session of the legislature pass anything in response?

No Wonder Uranus is Blue.
That was a mighty big plasmoid there.
What kind of mission was this again?

Gas bubble from Uranus?
I had to check my calendar. Nope, not April 1st. ;o)
‘twerent me not MY anus ‘twas Uranus.
It was the Taco Bell.
It was the starship Enterprise, circling Uranus looking for Klingons.
North Sea. Now there’s an inhospitable work environment. Little over 30yrs ago I worked with a former BP employee who worked doing photographic deep sea weld inspection. He had some stories that’d leave ya a bit green around the gills even sitting on dry land.
Funny thing: he was Brit by way of Argentina & spoke Argentine Spanish with an English accent.
“Why didn’t any observatory notice it?”
Maybe it was the “silent but deadly” type?
Fry: Hey, as long as you don’t make me smell Uranus. (laughs)
Leela: I don’t get it.
Farnsworth: I’m sorry, Fry, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all.
Fry: Oh. What’s it called now?
Farnsworth: Urectum. Here, let me locate it for you.
Fry: Hehe, no, no, I think I’ll just smell around a bit over here.
We will finally be able to effectively measure all these politicians now. I bet we will need exponents by morning!
Now that’s what you call a major fart.
The plasmoid was named Eric.
After Congressman Fartswell.
I relate to your post. I was working North Sea also on the surface but not a diver. I was a drilling fluid engineer though my degree was in geology.
My roommate on the rig was the dive master. He was to old to dive anymore. He was 30 years old. He controlled the dive operations from the surface. He was considered "The Old Man."
Those guys made a shit load of money. They earned every cent they made.
"Funny thing: he was Brit by way of Argentina & spoke Argentine Spanish with an English accent."
I am a Texan that grew up on the border and lived in Venezuela and speak Spanish. I learned Spanish as a small child but forgot it I thought. When I moved to Venezuela in the early 70s I was speaking Spanish in only a couple of months. I was just remembering what I had learned as a child.
When I speak Spanish to my wonderful Mexican wife from Mexico it drives her a bit crazy. My accent in Spanish is a mixture of Mexican and Venezuelan Spanish
