The best planet in our solar system is not, as Adrienne LaFrance claimed several months ago, Jupiter. Nor is it Saturn, as Ross Andersen argued in a rebuttal last month. I teach science for a living, which means I have a hard time allowing misinformation to pass by uncorrected—and after reading those articles, I knew I had to step in before any more intellectual damage was done.

The best planet is Uranus—Uranus the bizarre. Uranus the unique.

Or more correctly: “a probe to wipe out the Klingons on Uranus.”

Perk up boys! It is possible that “vast oceans of ionic liquids hidden beneath the greenish clouds, full of water, ammonia, or even liquefied diamond.”

Get your buckets ready - we sell them cheap.

Uranus...OMG a black hole!

[bolobaby]

Enough with the Trump threads already!

[Hatteras]

Always skip the article and go straight to the comments when a post involves Uranus...

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

The big question should be:

“What made Uranus curly whirley”?

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Uranus can’t stay away from the election threads.

Stand nude over a mirror and you can see Uranus. You don’t need a telescope.

Yes, my doc said popcorn was excellent roughage.

[Verginius Rufus]

Nonsense. The best planet in the solar system is earth. It is the only one with chocolate. Be practical.

[Grimmy]

Winner winner chicken dinner!

[The Cajun]

First Pluto gets kicked out as a planet and now the push for Uranus to be the best planet, it's a conspiracy I tell ya!!

The dastardly Uranus cabal at work again.
