I’m not going anywhere near a “video of uranus”.

No way, no how.

What do an Astronomer, and a Proctologist have in common? Both make their living looking at Uranus.

The Discovery of Uranus

That would certainly explain the run on TP.

“”Mine smells like roses.””

You’re using dryer sheets now too? I guess the TP shortage is real!

Atomic hydrogen corona of Uranus

Probably shouldn’t have had that chili for lunch.

William Herschel wanted to name the planet after King George III but other astronomers insisted on a classical name like the other planets had.

Well I was able to tell the difference between it and a hole in the ground at a pretty early age.

They tried to say the pronunciation was “urine-us,” until kids then made urine jokes.

After the discovery of Uranus, you may wonder, Why is Uranus blue?

The methane in Uranus’ upper atmosphere absorbs the red light from the Sun but reflects the blue light from the Sun back into space. This is why Uranus appears blue.

Other factors might be involved with Uranus, but powerful probes might be needed to reveal more. Maybe it is best for now to just accept that Uranus is blue.

A solar system shattering event?

Well, you can't have shattering without shat.

Hey, one of my best opening pick up lines was ‘If you were in charge of NASA would you let me explore Uranus?’.

I'm sorry, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all

“Why is Uranus blue?”

Man, you don’t know how many sleepless nights I’ve had wondering about this.
