Unless it’s General Chang’s bird of prey.

Right. Because urine-iss is still gross, just not funny-gross. Then again, the planet is actually composed of urine.
An astronomer, pious but odd
(To be honest, a dirty old clod),
Who’d searched for a sign
Of a presence divine,
Cried, “I’ve just found Uranus, dear God!”
NASA does not use traditional artists to manually paint or color the Hubble Space Telescope images. Instead, highly trained imaging specialists and scientists process the raw, black-and-white data from Hubble using computer software.
Hubble captures images in grayscale through different filters, each corresponding to specific wavelengths of light (including visible, ultraviolet, and infrared). These images are then combined and color is digitally assigned to represent the data from each filter.
Sometimes, colors are chosen to approximate what the human eye would see, but often, especially for wavelengths invisible to us, colors are assigned to highlight scientific features—a process known as “false color” or “representative color”.
This work is described as “equal parts art and science,” but it is performed by imaging experts and astronomers, not by traditional artists. The goal is to reveal scientific information and make the images accessible and informative, not to create fantasy or purely aesthetic artwork.
I knew a guy that had “your name” tattooed on his ass. He won a lot of bets and got into a few fights as well
I always thought the rings were brown?
And you have not landed on the surface of Uranus.
The sunlit surface of the moon right next the camera is very bright by comparison, and does require a very narror aperture.
I've looked at an outer planet (Saturn) through a telescope before. Even with a fairly large scope, it's fairly dim, and your eyes need to dark-adapt to see it clearly. Compare something that faint to something brighter than sunshine on a bright concrete pavement on earth.
Pretty blurry for Uranas I would think...
Not as clear as I expected.
Be thankful.................
I think his great grandson was Bickuth Dickuth
Here we go. It’s been awhile since we’ve seen something shedding light on Uranus. I think Musk should just skip Mars and send his huge rocket right to the surface of Uranus.
I’m only here for the jokes
