I think back when I first saw that, it was the Carson skit that made me laugh the most.

In the article, the photo caption reads, in part, "A full-sized wide shot of Uranus captured by the James Webb Space Telescope on Feb. 6, 2023..." >/p>

Here is Canaduh's version, NOT captured by the James Well Space Telescope:

I saw this story last night but I just couldn’t post it.

I didn’t want to trigger anyone to make asinine comments.

[Semper Vigilantis]

Had the telescope out last night. Pretty sure I saw Uranus.

The jokes write themselves.

[sauropod]

Pretty awesome photos.

Democrats are interested in Uranus

[cgbg]

Most woke scientists these days are busy telling each other how important Uranus is....

[redshawk]

you must be a plummer, lol

[Stosh]

That was really strange - it’s like the late-night talk show hosts back then thought it would be a good idea to make their audiences laugh!

[dfwgator]

I know, right. What a concept!

[Alas Babylon!]

Zoomed in:

Uranus looks too bright to me. What are those two yellow-white spots, reflections of the Sun?
