I look forward to the serious scientific discussion I'm sure that will follow.

'This is 28 seconds longer than the previous estimate'

Gosh; I'm going to have to rearrange my entire understanding of reality...

Interesting about the rotating poles inside Uranus...Is anyone else uncomfortable about that?

That’s why you should get up and walk around every now and then.

It’s due to Trump’s tariffs. Very serious indeed.

observations made by Hubble Space Telescope.

PLEASE, let's do the Hubble Space Telescope upgrade and repair. Musk has already stated he would donate the rocket and launch.

Most urgent are the gyroscopes. Hubble needs three functional gyros for the best targeting / alignment. Hubble had 6, so if one failed, another could be used. It is now down to only two gyros.

If you watch the previous repair / upgrade missions, they designed Hubble so that large, rectangular modules hold the hardware. In the previous missions, they opened the side doors, pulled out the current module, and replaced them with the upgrades.

Yes, yes, that is not all they did, or have to do. If nothing else, just launch and attach new gyros to the outside of Hubble, until a longer term mission can occur. While the Webb Space Telescope is expanding our knowledge, it is not in the visual spectrum. Someday, something will replace Hubble. Until then, Get R Done!

Depends on if Uranus is defended by Klingons.

Longer days are good, but it’s way better that Uranus is full of giant diamonds. I don’t think anything will top that.

calculated based on a decade's worth of observations of Uranus's aurorae

The guy that spent decades studying the gaseous emissions of Uranus deserves a raise.

Did the inhabitants of Uranus just adopt daylight savings time?

Voyager sped up the rotation when it flew by. The little bit of gravity interacted with Uranus’s and sped up the rotation....
