It has rings?

It’s trying to copy Saturn?

What is very compelling is that Uranus does smell like your anus, hence the name!!

All the gas giants have rings, just not as spectacular as Saturn’s.

Uranus was known to have rings before the Voyagers were launched, since the occultation of Uranus with a star previously had revealed the star blinking out before and after the occultation as it passed behind the rings...............

[gas giants]

Just to be clear, we’re not talking about certain Democrat women or Chris Christie are we?

If it’s space, then can we launch a gigantic bottle of Pepto-Bismol?

Couldn’t hurt and might help. Dunno...

Sometimes it itches but I don’t believe that mine has any perplexing mysteries.

It’s a great article. In recent years I’ve been studying the Sun more. I’m starting to photograph it in white light. I’ve been turning my attention towards photographing the Sun, the Moon, and the planets. My scope is really rather small for the task compared to some, but it should give me some excellent pics.
A great article, thanks for posting it!

In April I went up to southern Quebec...just over the Vermont border...to see the eclipse. It was total there for about 2 minutes.The sky was cloudless but I was expecting more. It got dark...like twilight...but it didn’t get *completely* dark. I was expecting 2AM darkness with starlight.

I didn’t get to a location with totality, but at my location in Northern Illinois the Sun was about 80-90% covered. It did get a little bit dim, and a little bit cooler. I managed to get some pictures with my iPhone thru the eyepiece. I had recently purchased a PlayerOne Mars-C planetary camera, but wasn’t really familiar with it to try to capture some images with it. And, having used Apple products for the past 10 years, I also bought a Windows laptop to process the images. I’m still trying to get used to Windows 11. Apple computers are way out of my price range right now.

There’s nothing like the solar system to bring you down to earth.
