Fry: “Hey, as long as you don’t make me smell Uranus.” *laughs*
Leela: “I don’t get it.”
Professor: “I’m sorry, Fry, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all.”
Fry: “Oh. What’s it called now?”
Professor: “Urectum. Here, let me locate it for you.”
Fry: “Hehe, no, no, I think I’ll just smell around a bit over here.”
From the TV show ‘Futurama’

I’m told that if you have perfect vision, and if you have ideal viewing conditions, and if know where to look, Uranus can be seen with the naked eye.

Since the title contained the words “look up” and “Uranus,” somehow, I was under the impression the story was written by Katie Couric.

Well, that lets me out. Bad vision and poor conditions. I guess I’ll just have to use a mirror.............

It “opposes” the sun at least once a year, does it not?

I hope you continue to post these bits of science, in spite of all the good laughs everyone offered over the namesake of your article.
Don’t get me wrong, I am not apologizing for anyone and I am not complaining about the jokes, but I do enjoy the science as well.
