Am I the only immature one who laughed at the title?
- martincmartin 3y agoMy Ph.D. work was on a robot called Uranus. Let's just say it was the butt of many jokes. Like when my advisor was fixing it once, and I said "get your head out of Uranus!" https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~gwp/robots/Uranus.html https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~gwp/robots/Uranus.html
- bloopernova 3y ago> butt Was that deliberate? Just randomly curious!
- hurflmurfl 3y agoMy priors are at 100%
- andrew-dc 3y agoAbsolutely opened the comments for the jokes....
- kgwxd 3y agoThey knew exactly what they were doing. All the work put into that telescope was just building up to this very day.
- Night_Thastus 3y agoWe'll just have to wait for it to be re-named in 2620
- throwup238 3y agoWhy wait until the ass-end of civilization?
- Night_Thastus 3y agoIt's a reference to Futurama
- daveslash 3y agoYou called him out on not catching the reference. You Wrecked Em'! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0czFnIvKOJY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0czFnIvKOJY

- alex_young 3y agoNot quite the same ring as the original title of "NASA's Webb Rings in the Holidays with the Ringed Planet Uranus", but the rings are off a bit from your normal planet, so maybe that's OK?
- jader201 3y agoTo be fair — and unfortunately — the original title is different: “NASA's Webb Rings in the Holidays with the Ringed Planet Uranus”. The submitter actually changed it from the original title (unless the title has been updated since it was submitted).
- legitster 3y agoWe really need a national program in the US to change the pronunciation. It would be more accurate to actually pronounce it "ooranus". ...butt yes I giggled.
- amalcon 3y agoI learned to prounounce it like "Yer-in-us" -- which results in different jokes, at least.
- userbinator 3y agoI think it's a base human nature to find humour in such things. As the saying goes: "You can grow old, but you don't need to grow up."
- adzm 3y agoI'll take this opportunity to say it should be called Caelus
