[snip] Uranus has 29 confirmed moons. Only one spacecraft has ever visited the planet -- and that was in 1986 for just a few hours. Yet in the last two years alone we have discovered a brand new moon, found hidden oceans beneath multiple moons, and revealed that the dark sides of its largest moons are on completely the wrong hemisphere.
In this video we break down every weird moon of Uranus -- from a world with the tallest cliff in the entire solar system, to a moon with a single mysterious bright ring sitting alone on an otherwise pitch black surface, to the smallest moon ever found orbiting Uranus discovered just last year by the James Webb Space Telescope.
This is Part 3 of our Weird Moons Series. [/snip] Every Weird Moon of Uranus Explained in 8 Minutes | 8:02

Ouranos has the emphasis on the second (to last) syllable, so Uranus is correctly pronounced that way. Some uptight nitwit tried to pass YER uh nus as the correct way, but it isn’t and it’s stupid when people claim that it is.

What do toilet paper and the starship Enterprise have in common?
To: SunkenCiv
Well, I guess we have to enjoy the ride until they decide to go full Roman.
It’s pretty hard to have this kind of fun with the name Caelus.
To: SunkenCiv
Yep. Just here for the entertainment value of the Uranus comments...

Just be glad it didn’t end up being Georgium Sidus. Not as funny.

Uranus and moon in the same sentence have Beavis and Butthead in spasms.

“I’m sorry, Fry, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all.
“Fry: “Oh. What’s it called now?”
Farnsworth: “Urectum.”
