- ericol 7y agoThis title is going to make big, big waves in reddit.
- devmunchies 7y agoCool? Probably Facebook too. What’s the deal with redditors bringing it up on other sites?

- close04 7y agoThe title is obviously meant to at least elicit a chuckle.

- beznet 7y agoI wonder how long they've been waiting to use that phrase for an article
- elihu 7y agoI'd say the whole world (or at least, the whole world's middle-school age population) has been waiting for that headline since approximately 1782, when Johann Elert Bode proposed the planet's name.
- antisthenes 7y agoI think the double entendre here is pretty limited to primarily English speakers. Johann Elert Bode was German, so I'm not sure if the meaning of the word holds there.
- DiabloD3 7y agoCan we just all appreciate how amazing this headline is?
- ASalazarMX 7y agoIt's the type of clickbait we accept here, I guess. Almost expected a clickhole link.
- jchw 7y agoI think it is kind of self-evident that editorializing the title to promote more productive discussion might be useful in this specific case...

- FabHK 7y agoThe article seems bullshit clickbait. Shame.
- kasperni 7y agoThey really have a liking for Uranus... Another of their headlines were "Uranus Has Experienced A Colossal Pounding" [1]. Metro also used the headline a couple of years ago [2] [1] http://www.physics-astronomy.com/2018/07/something-massive-smashed-into-uranus.html http://www.physics-astronomy.com/2018/07/something-massive-s...

- jjoonathan 7y agoThe article reads like something generated by an AI. It fixates on a core idea (astronomers use the hubble), repeats it a number of times with minor variation, goes on unrelated tangents (sources of charged particles in general rather than as specific to this anomaly) and riffs on these themes in ways that make zero sense (astronomers controlling solar wind using magnetic fields? Unlikely). The title will probably be enough to drive millions of views, though.
