You mean Urectum
- I hardly knew ‘em!
  
  Ureckon?
We have to rename this thing
- And miss out on stuff like this?!
- I disagree. In fact, I think we should rename the other planets so that they have funny names, too.
  
  I propose Urpeen and Urvag for Mars and Venus respectively (and respectfully)
- Apparently we do in the year 2208
  
  Huh?
- Because people mispronounce it?
Does it look big in this outfit?
- Did I say gas giant?! No baby, you just misunderstood me.
I got to say, this is a genuinely beautiful photo.
- So you are into this sort of thing?
  
  Pictures of space? Absolutely!!!
"arsetechnica article"
Is this in visible light or are there other spectrums involved? I m just wondering if this is real color.
- If im not mistaken The JWST can only see infrared light

- I do not believe JWST has visual spectrum detectors
  
  That's what I thought to. That's why I'm wondering what spectrum this is in, or of it's CGI/edit.

Hot.
- In fact, Uranus is a pretty cold place its temperature is aroind 49 K (−224 °C; −371 °F)
  
  AROIND??? Is that expected to be found in Uranus, doctor???
  
  Good to know, I’ll bring a sweater when I’m exploring Uranus. Thanks 🫶
Hmmmm. Comment on the cool science bit or make an ass-related comment?
[OBLIGATORY COMMENT REGARDING MY ASSHOLE LOL]
Can NASA let me know if that mole looks benign?
Uranus has a weird glow. You should see a doctor.
well if i knew they would be taking pictures...
I checked the comments to make sure they are all lame, low-effort ass jokes. Yep, all is right with the world.
Yeah. They knew what they were doing...
round trip would make a great vacation cruise
- I freakin' love space
I bet writing that title will be a defining moment in their career when they look back on it in retirement.
Wow Uranus looks quite smooth in this pic
Sorry, wrong chat
Uranus at arse technica? Nice.
lol

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."
All I wanna do is do a Zoom Zoom Zoom and a Boom Boom
