On the surface, Uranus looks calm. And yet, we've suspected for a long time that inside there must be something very weird going on. So, in 1986, when NASA was finally able to probe Uranus for the first time with its Voyager 2 mission, what they found was nothing short of incredible.
While most people probably think that Uranus is filled with gas, we are now realizing that it's actually full of something massive - a strange combination of forces that appears to defy all logic. And it's taken NASA scientists more than 40 years just to get to the bottom of this. So today we go looking for answers deep within Uranus.

I am actually totally devoid of curiosity of what is in Uranus the fact we spend the money on this leaves me wondering WTAF?
It’s the mudslides you have to watch out for.
Halloween or not, I feel no need to talk about Uranus… and don’t call me Shirley!
I’m not touching this.
Nothing rhymes with Uranus.
We should ask Uranus what it wants to be called.
If it’s not Uranus you shouldn’t touch it.
Are you my proctologist?
Is the name Uranus a derivative of the fact it smells like an anus?
Maybe not in English.
From AI:
“The Greek name Ouranos was Latinized as Uranus, following the convention of naming planets after mythological figures
“When the planet was discovered in 1781 by Sir William Herschel, he initially proposed the name Georgium Sidus (”George’s Star”) in honor of King George III of England
“However, this name did not gain international acceptance. German astronomer Johann Bode suggested Uranus to align with the mythological naming of other planets, and by the mid-19th century, the name became widely adopted.”
And here’s Uranus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjFlOtXPRTI
Farnsworth: Exactly! And now Saturn.
[Fry sniffs.]
Fry: Pine needles. Oh, man, this is great! Hey, as long as you don’t make me smell Uranus.
[He laughs.]
Leela: I don’t get it.
Farnsworth: 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. Here, let me locate it for you.
[Fry chuckles.]
Fry: No, no, I think I’ll just smell around a bit over here! [He points the Smellescope around the sky and sniffs.] Hmm. [He sniffs again.] Hmm.
[He sniffs again and starts gagging.]
Farnsworth: What is it? [He sniffs and reacts.] Oh, jeez! Oh, man! Remarkable! A stench so foul it’s right off the Funk-o-Meter. I dare say Fry may have discovered the smelliest object in the known universe.
Bender: Ooh! Ooh! Name it after me!
I saw a science fiction movie as a kid that had something to do with the planet Uranus--had "Seventh Planet" in the title. I don't remember anything else about the movie.
May Uranus unchain us, not detain us.
I always thought that toilet humor was largely a Brit thing.
But apparently, it’s universal.
For a different pronounciation: The terminus is at Uranus.
