Explanation: For the first time we are witnessing outer planet Uranus take center stage and pirouette. Uranus is one of the Solar System’s strangest planets, lying on its side and spinning like a rotisserie chicken. The featured video is composed of over 1000 spectra taken over 15 hours of continuous viewing by JWST's NIRSpec instrument while Uranus rotates. The data captures the behavior of Uranus’s ionosphere: the ionized layer of a planet’s atmosphere that strongly interacts with the planet's magnetic field. The aurora’s rosy glow traces the complex interplay between Uranus's misaligned rotation and magnetic axes. Clouds can be seen as bright spots traveling across the ice giant. The blue-to-red colors represent low-to-high altitudes, showing a brand new three-dimensional view into how energy is distributed throughout the planet’s atmosphere. In the image on the left, everything is framed by the rings of Uranus. This is the most detailed look into the atmosphere of Uranus achieved yet!

Please, no pics.
It will be jokes and memes for 150 posts.

A good video…
Just here for the jokes.....
This headline would be funny if I were not constipated.
My gastroenterologist said mine is upside down too.
Came for the grade school level jokes. And the picture.
The full rotation of Uranus is an everyday phenomenon in San Francisco.
One pronunciation embodies Sodom, Gomorrah, and San Fran. The other pronunciation sounds like a kidney infection.
What to do, what to do?
When this website went down the other day I thought it was due to massive traffic from people commenting on the 49th anniversary of the discovery of rings around Uranus.
It seriously was.
Ya mean it’s twerking?
Uranus is a really shitty planet.
Astronomers keep exploring Uranus — sounds personal.
Uranus was the son and husband of Gaia (Earth), with whom he fathered the first generation of Titans.
Cronus castrated Uranus, from Uranus’s blood, which splattered onto the earth, came the Erinyes (Furies), the Giants, and the Meliae. Also, according to the Theogony, Cronus threw the severed genitals into the sea, around which “a white foam spread” and “grew” ... Uranus’s castration allowed the Titans to rule and Cronus to assume supreme command of the cosmos. From the genitals in the sea came forth Aphrodite.
Only a global homo degenerate would name a planet that name. They say 63 Earths would fit inside Uranus; it is 64 if you relax.
There’s a lot of space… in Uranus.
Uranus is a really shitty planet.
Too much gas.
From the time when I first learned about the solar system, in the days when Sputnik I was flying through the cosmos, the only pronunciation I heard for many years was “you reign us.” Later, National Public Radio tried to get us to say “urine-us,” which it claimed is the official pronunciation.
Ouch! I hate when that happens!
