Title: Hubble finds new moons, rings around Uranus
Post by: ChadTower on December 22, 2005, 03:37:52 pm
(CNN) -- New images from the Hubble Space Telescope show the planet Uranus has two additional moons and two faint rings never observed before. (http://www.cnn.com/2005/TECH/space/12/22/uranus.hubble/index.html)

Someone needs a bath.

The old Hubble is now a dinosaur. Can't wait for the next generation of orbiting telescopes, If will be like comparing Wolf to Doom 3.....

Hey Chad CNN is never wrong.  If they say there are 2 rings around 'uranus', then there must be.  Time to go see the Dr. ....

Personally I'd be concerned if I were you....

That's no moon, that's a spacestation.

I see this degenerating very quickly since the word "Uranus" is in the title and Chad posted this.

Best line from the article:

"Sometimes you find things you aren't looking for," Showalter said. "No one thought this region of Uranus was very interesting."

It's like you're trying to be like Bozxc8, only you haven't figured out that "back porch" doesn't mean "jokes" and even he knows to moderate what he does to back porches.

Cripes, that might be so obtuse and highbrow a reference you might get it

Be careful Drew, he might call you a racist.

Thats how you make a napkin dance, you know.

I didn't even realize Uranus had rings.  Faulty education there, what?

Speaking of Anii...

In a desperate attempt to bring this thread semi-sort-of on topic, do any of you guys bust out laughing when you play Gyruss and it says "2 warps to Uranus" ?? I freakin lose it every time, so damn funny! Don't know if the game designers meant it to be a joke or not, but I love it.

Eric.

Fry: "Hey, as long as you don't make me smell Uranus." *laughs*
Leela: "I don't get it."
Professor: "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?"
Professor: "Urectum. Here, let me locate it for you."
Fry: "Hehe, no, no, I think I'll just smell around a bit over here."
