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.

Seventh planet has a blue ring

Seventh planet? FOCL! They are going to have to rename the poor planet at some point. Might I suggest Caelus?

I see they decided to play it safe with the title and call it the 7th planet

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.

You gotta love how they used "Seventh Planet" in the headline.

Blue rings?

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

"up to ten meters"

It's a neat looking picture but that blue ring would be hundreds of miles across...
