In the vast expanse between Uranus and Neptune, a team of researchers have uncovered something really quite extraordinary, a minor planet that has been locked in precise gravitational manouevres with Uranus for at least a million years. This discovery sheds new light on the complex dynamics that govern our Solar System's outer reaches.
The object in question, designated 2015 OU₁₉₄, belongs to a class of small bodies called Centaurs, rocky and icy objects that orbit between Jupiter and Neptune. What makes this particular Centaur special is its remarkably stable relationship with Uranus, locked in what is known as a 3:4 mean motion resonance. This means that for every three orbits 2015 OU₁₉₄ completes around the Sun, Uranus completes exactly four.
This precise mathematical relationship creates a gravitational partnership that keeps the two objects in a stable dance, preventing them from colliding or drifting apart.

The Headline.
Mark Thompson must be a DEI policy lover.
Big Bubba will dance with UrAnus.
That’s what prison is all about.
Togetherness.
Gaydar? LOL
Uh oh.....
Not mine!
Oh my god!!!
The jokes just write themselves with that headline
“I love, I love, I love Uranus but, 2015 OU₁₉₄...”
LOL.
There Ain’t No Good Chain Gang
Song by
Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash
Bet it ain’t raining back home
Bet your sister’s still on the phone
Bet momma’s in the kitchen, cooking fried chicken
Wishing that I hadn’t done wrong
Yeah, momma don’t you worry about it none though
Everything’s gonna be all right, momma
They’re teaching us a lot of new things in here momma
Things like
There ain’t no good in an evil-hearted woman
And I ain’t cut out to be no Jesse James
And you don’t go writing hot checks down in Mississippi
And there ain’t no good chain gang
Best Laugh of the week.
Thanks
Cue the music

Closer to Uranus than Neptune
Neptune is thankful for
The Dancing Queen
Closer to Uranus
It looks like Ol’ george will be going to his grave with only two words on his epitaph...
Oh My.
Thanks Redcitizen. I didn't check yet, but I know better than to claim "in before the Uranus jokes". I have to knock off typing for the rest of the day, I think I, you guessed it, pulled my finger.
