SCIENTISTS INTRIGUED BY STRANGE BLOBS ON URANUS

Researchers believe that mushy blobs on Uranus are hiding lots of gas.
More specifically, scientists have discovered that “mushballs,” large slushy hailstones made of ammonia and water, might be causing an odd atmospheric phenomenon on Uranus, according to a press release about the research. The mushballs, which are also present on Neptune, might be carrying ammonia into the two planets’ atmosphere and hiding the gas from detection.
The balls might actually be the secret behind why scientists can’t detect ammonia in the atmospheres of Uranus and Neptune — which is odd because it’s abundant with other gasses like methane.

Nothing worse than finding strange blobs on Uranus.
It could have been worse though. They could have been found during the TP-ocalypse shortage of 2020.

I used to work across the hall from a girl named Dixie.
She unexpectedly didn’t show up for work once day, then a call finally came in that she had a traffic accident on the way to work.
We had lots of fun telling folks that “Dixie Wrecked”

Sounds like they need a proctologist, not a scientist.

In the Futurama Episode “A Big Piece of Garbage”
Professor Farnsworth invents the Smell-o-Scope, it allowed users to smell odors over extremely long distances.
Phillip J. Fry commented Great idea, as long as I don’t have to smell Uranus
This episode aired May 9, 1999
22+ Years ago
This was the last time a Uranus joke was remotely funny
SO PLEASE STOP!!!!
