This was posted earlier and taken down immediately. I suspect it was because the connection between blue rings and Uranus led to too much ribaldry.

The scientists plan to carry out further observations next year, when the faint rings of Uranus will be more visible.
The scientists double as proctologists.

Blue rings?
Totally unexpected. I would think blue balls in the vicinity a more likely occurrence.
