Did you know there are 13 rings around Uranus?

Not if it's bleached

How rude.

I'm older than that.

Jupiter and Neptune have rings, also.

Outgassing?

Got rings around my dick too, they change color depending on her lipstick.

There wouldn't be if you wiped better. Charmin FTW!

One of Uranus' rings correlates with two moons.

"The mechanism that confines the narrow rings is not well understood. Initially it was assumed that every narrow ring had a pair of nearby shepherd moons corralling them into shape. However, in 1986 Voyager 2 discovered only one such shepherd pair (Cordelia and Ophelia) around the brightest ring (epsilon)."

i've had a shower, so i'm ok now

Jupiter has rings too!

Thanks for reading the thread before posting.

She's gone from suck to blow!

A blow-suck? Suck-blow? Centripital-centrifugal flux?

:gaythread2:

Here's the history of their discovery:


"The rings of Uranus were discovered on March 10, 1977, by James L. Elliot, Edward W. Dunham, and Douglas J. Mink. More than 200 years ago, in 1789, William Herschel also reported observing rings; some modern astronomers are skeptical that he could have actually seen them, as they are very dark and faint – others are not.[1]"

They don't give credit to Herschel.

I wonder if Edward Dunham is related to Obama.

Your Welcome!

I did read the first couple posts I swears!!

So, there's not just one "Lord of the Rings".

the number of rings can be used to count the number of times you got it up the ass

Astronomers don't know what the dark matter is that, along with water, makes up the rings. It seems strange that spectrometrical analysis can't determine the composition. Perhaps it's because Uranus is too far away or that the rings' composition can't be differentiated from that of Uranus.

"The chemical composition of the ring particles is not known. However, they cannot be made of pure water ice like the rings of Saturn because they are too dark, darker than the inner moons of Uranus.[18] This indicates that they are probably composed of a mixture of the ice and a dark material. The nature of this material is not clear, but it may be organic compounds considerably darkened by the charged particle irradiation from the Uranian magnetosphere."

How did the scientists know about my dark rings?

You've never seen the movie "Spaceballs"? seriously?

As it turns out, Uranus' outer ring is blue:

How does that happen?

I was mooned once...I didn't see any rings...just a few cling-ons.

I admire how you can keep reporting your data in the midst of all the to be expected commentary.

did you know there are 2 synapses in your cranium and ONE JUST SHORTED OUT?

anyone else hear C3PO when reading that?
