You mean Urectum

[-] Furimbus@lemmy.world 13 points 9 months ago

I hardly knew ‘em!

[-] TopRamenBinLaden@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

Ureckon?

[-] YoorWeb@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

[-] cholesterol@lemmy.world 35 points 9 months ago

We have to rename this thing

[-] rbhfd@lemmy.world 33 points 9 months ago

And miss out on stuff like this?!

Screenshot of news article with headline reading: "Nasa wants to probe deeper into Uranus than ever before

[-] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 26 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I disagree. In fact, I think we should rename the other planets so that they have funny names, too.

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

I propose Urpeen and Urvag for Mars and Venus respectively (and respectfully)

[-] CobblerScholar@lemmy.world 22 points 9 months ago

Apparently we do in the year 2208

[-] cholesterol@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Huh?

[-] WetAndFlummoxed@lemmy.world 35 points 9 months ago

Guessing it's a reference to Futurama where the professor says they renamed it to urectum.

[-] TargaryenTKE@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago

100%

[-] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 8 points 9 months ago

Possible futurama reference, where they rename Uranus to Urectum.

[-] TargaryenTKE@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

100% accurate

[-] ettyblatant@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

We will!

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago

Because people mispronounce it?

[-] Lophostemon@aussie.zone 30 points 9 months ago

Does it look big in this outfit?

[-] TragicNotCute@lemmy.world 15 points 9 months ago

Did I say gas giant?! No baby, you just misunderstood me.

[-] Chinchillax@lemm.ee 24 points 9 months ago

I got to say, this is a genuinely beautiful photo.

[-] MyOtherUsername@lemmy.world 23 points 9 months ago

"arsetechnica article"

[-] Plibbert@lemmy.ml 19 points 9 months ago

Is this in visible light or are there other spectrums involved? I m just wondering if this is real color.

[-] young_broccoli@kbin.social 22 points 9 months ago

If im not mistaken The JWST can only see infrared light

[-] nexguy@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago

I do not believe JWST has visual spectrum detectors

[-] Plibbert@lemmy.ml 5 points 9 months ago

That's what I thought to. That's why I'm wondering what spectrum this is in, or of it's CGI/edit.

[-] FinishingDutch@lemmy.world 19 points 9 months ago

Hot.

[-] chemicalwonka@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 9 months ago

In fact, Uranus is a pretty cold place its temperature is aroind 49 K (−224 °C; −371 °F)

[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 5 points 9 months ago

AROIND??? Is that expected to be found in Uranus, doctor???

[-] chemicalwonka@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Lol, My keyboard doesn't have a corrector and English is not my native language. This explains a lot

[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago

What more could I expect from the Willy Wonka of chemicals? The methanol berries taste like *gags and dies*

[-] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago

A little lick of methanol won't kill you. You'll "only" go blind.

[-] chemicalwonka@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 9 months ago

This nickname has a dark history behind it but I laughed of your comment not gonna lie

[-] FinishingDutch@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Good to know, I’ll bring a sweater when I’m exploring Uranus. Thanks 🫶

[-] don@lemm.ee 18 points 9 months ago

Hmmmm. Comment on the cool science bit or make an ass-related comment?

[OBLIGATORY COMMENT REGARDING MY ASSHOLE LOL]

[-] rbesfe@lemmy.ca 17 points 9 months ago

Can NASA let me know if that mole looks benign?

[-] mydude@lemmy.world 15 points 9 months ago

Uranus has a weird glow. You should see a doctor.

[-] orivar@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 9 months ago

[-] BloodSlut@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago

well if i knew they would be taking pictures...

[-] metallic_substance@lemmy.world 13 points 9 months ago

I checked the comments to make sure they are all lame, low-effort ass jokes. Yep, all is right with the world.

[-] palitu@aussie.zone 11 points 9 months ago

Yeah. They knew what they were doing...

[-] m3t00@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

round trip would make a great vacation cruise

[-] FabledAepitaph@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

I freakin' love space

[-] flop_leash_973@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

I bet writing that title will be a defining moment in their career when they look back on it in retirement.

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

Wow Uranus looks quite smooth in this pic

Sorry, wrong chat

[-] NaoPb@eviltoast.org 4 points 9 months ago

Uranus at arse technica? Nice.

Trump: "Yeah that's her with the 27 moons. I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful... I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything."

Bush: "Whatever you want."

Trump: "Zoom in on Uranus. You can do anything."

Bush: "Yeah those moons. All I can see is the moons."

Trump: "It looks good."
