Bidet’s corvette?
It was the Cling-ons that did it ............
Ahem.
My axis is just fine, thank you very much.
If a bunch of scientists can get together and decide Pluto is no longer a planet, why can’t they get together and pick a new name for this one?
Global warming. Settled science.
Uranus. I could go on , but will not.
Spacepox
I was told by my proctologist that mine was “abnorman”; still don’t know what he meant.
Well.. I guess it’s time to probe Uranus
So, ah, how big a probe would be necessary? Speaking in a purely academic sense, of course.
Trump’s fault. Womyn and persons of color hardest hit.
I’m just a simple caveman, but if a migrating moon began the tilting motion, what stopped it? Wouldn’t there be a tendency to return to the same orientation as before, like a gyroscope?
Sorry...I’m not going anywhere near this one!
Thanks Red Badger.
Cranky Old 'Civ sez -- The tilt of Uranus isn't due to one of its moons -- the rest of the Uranian moons orbit in the planet's 'ecliptic', and there are captured minor moons, some of which are prograde and others retrograde (retrograde orbits are generally considered diagnostic of capture). Uranus' major moons and its rings are indeed beholden to the planet, not the other way around. The largest of its moons is 1/10000th the mass.
Astronomers don’t know jack.
When a “scientific” article uses “weird” “whopping” and “pesky” a lot I wonder if it’s a science article or just clickbait.
There’s nothing weird about it. It’s just that no one had explained it just yet. The universe doesn’t conform to man’s categories.
So does the moon’s migration mean Tennessee is headed North or South?
I plan to open the Tennessee Possum Holler International Seaport when the seas rise.
And if we are headed north, I might need an icebreaker ship.
And if it’s south, I need to include siesta’s is the Employee policy manual.
Uranus is tilted due to excessive moonings.
