Your video, NASA Shares New Detailed Photos Of Uranus, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.
The Gecko Visits Portal - GEICO Insurance
Just so we're clear, my upvote is for Portal. Shoot the blue portal on Uranus.
We're Going to Europa!
I heard there are strange emissions coming from Uranus, so firing a probe into it might not be a bad idea.
Kind of disappointing, I've always wanted to send a probe to Uranus.

To Scale: The Solar System
a few (perhaps dumb) observations:
Laniakea: Our home supercluster
Then consider it completely awesome since with the scale and perspective presented there's no way you could differentiate the actual elliptical orbits from perfectly circular orbits. Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus all have an eccentricity of about 5% while Neptune's is less than 1%.
this was awesome until the circular orbits of our solar system at the end ಠ_ಠ
NASA Space Sounds
Rings of Uranus reminded me of Half-Life games.
15% of Ohio Republicans Think Romney Killed bin Laden
heh "Uranus".
How to Pronounce Uranus - C.G.P GREY
I don't need to pronounce Uranus, Uranus is already pronounced enough.
...yeah, I went there.

How to Pronounce Uranus - C.G.P GREY
I say, embrace it. Kids will still snicker the first few times they hear the name, but who cares?
That's right kids -- it is planet YER' ANUS. Enjoy your moments of juvenile mirth every time you hear it. YERANUS YERANUS YERANUS.
Perhaps we can mitigate this problem by dumping the kids into a sort of unfortunate name "sensory overload"?:
We are planning to ERECT a PENAL colony on URANUS. The first prisoners can be birds like blue footed BOOBIES and great TITS. Maybe we'll leave some PUSSY cats there to keep the bird population from exploding.
I propose that every 3rd grade science teacher recite the preceding paragraph (adding any more unfortunate words they deem worthy) to their classes every day until the novelty wears off and the kids stop giggling.
Pluto is not a Planet; CGP Grey explains
Pluto will always be a planet to me. If you don't like it, stick with Uranus.
"Waterworld" planet discovered! (Spacy Talk Post)
Europa has a thick layer of ice, maybe a few or several miles thick, under which is a very deep liquid ocean, but "its bulk density suggests that it is similar in composition to the terrestrial planets, being primarily composed of silicate rock." According to the researchers, "GJ1214b’s radius could be explained by a bulk composition consisting of an ice-rock core surrounded by a H/He/H2O envelope that has a water mass fraction of 50-85%."
GJ1214b is a giant ball of water 2.7 times the Earth's diameter (Uranus is about 4 times, Saturn about 9). The water must be (tens of) thousands of miles deep. There's nothing like it in our system. I can't even begin to imagine what happens to water at that kind of depth and pressure. What bizarre properties it must have. They mention superfluids and hot ice in the article, but I suspect it's even weirder.

Isn't Europa actually made almost entirely of ice? Europa the moon around Jupiter, I believe.

The important fact here is that it seems to be coming straight from Uranus.
then it must be a Klingon!
