Discovering Uranus’ Glow

Happens to me the next morning every time I order the Blazin' Knockout Wings from B-Dubs.

"The ice giants Uranus and Neptune are unusual planets in our solar system as their magnetic fields are misaligned with the axes in which they spin."

That's weird. I'm trying to imagine our magnetic fields being misaligned...

Another interesting comment...

"Continued study of Uranus’s aurora will provide data on what we can expect when Earth exhibits a future pole reversal and what that will mean for its magnetic field.”

The Uranian axis of rotation is approximately parallel to the plane of the Solar System, with an axial tilt of 97.77° (as defined by prograde rotation).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Uranus is essentially ‘rolling around’ the Sun.............

--"“Detection of the infrared aurora at Uranus with Keck-NIRSPEC” " No need for all of that work! Your phone map program and a car will get you there.

Uranus is one thing you never get to see. My gastroenterologist said mine was “abnormal”. I still don’t know what he meant.

Heard they changed the long “a” to a short “a” and also put the accent on the first syllable.

Oh, heck. Never mind. I just come in for the juvenile comments to see if there are any I haven't thought of, yet!
