"Study of Uranus Suggests Some of its Moons are on a Collision Course"

I don't doubt it.

The moons of Myanus have existed peacefully next to each other for 46 years, and I am not expecting any collisions.

It would explain the burning sensation.

...the researchers found that Cressida is on a path that will cause it to collide with another moon called Desdemona, which currently moves in an orbit just 900 kilometers from Cressida's. The gravity of Cressida is slowly pulling them closer together and will cause them to crash into one another in approximately 1 million years.

And if the researchers are wrong, who'll know? Win-win.

“You expect me to study Uranus? Why, I’m not even a proctologist...”

Portia, Cressida, and Ophelia.

Darn woman drivers .... Places as big ass the solar system, and they can’t even keep in their own orbits.

One of the best songs I ever heard.

####################
Cassiopeia
Sara Bareilles

Come in close now, it’s time to tell a story
Long ago and so many years before we
Ever were, ever dreamed we even could be
There was her and her very first heartbeat

All alone in the corner of the night sky
Spiral bones of a supernova starlight
Fell in love with another burning bright she
Dreamed of a way to ignite she said,

Tonight
Come on, come on collide
Break me to pieces, I
I think you’re just like heaven why

Come on, come on collide
Let’s see what a fire feels like
I bet it’s just like heaven

Just like heaven
Just like heaven

Such a shame
nowhere near, even the near mist light years away
From the hope of being sun-kissed anchored home
in her interstellar sea but, poor lonely Cassiopeia
So she sighs and she burns with desperation
Learns to cry over love of constellations
Then the spark from a star shooting too close
They both smiled what a day to explode, she said

Tonight
Come on, come on collide
Break me to pieces, I
I think you’re just like heaven why

Come on, come on collide
Let’s see what a fire feels like
I bet it’s just like heaven

Just like heaven
Just like heaven

Long ago in a sky built before us
A supernova grew up to be stardust
