If NASA renames a planet it will give it the name of the famous African explorer of the Moon and Mars....

ah—just make up a narrative—the sheeple will buy it.

;-)

[Clarancebeaks]

I propose calling it Cornhole after the popular game.

[null and void]

Anus is shorter and easier to spell...

[SunkenCiv]

That's been difficult since I put on a few pounds.

Lol..👍

[CtBigPat]

My question is: Why are they both a relatively uniform blue, while Saturn and Jupiter are multicolored and banded?..................

They are so cold, they're turning blue!

[nesnah]

The should ask George Takei if he will go on a “manned” mission. I cannot see why he’d say no.

[Red Badger]

He only goes where no man has gone before................

[Reily]

He would say “Been there done that! Got the T-shirt!”.

[Clay Moore]

Oh, man, this is great! Hey, as long as you don’t make me smell Uranus.

I don’t get it.

I’m sorry, Fry, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all.

Oh. What’s it called now?

Urectum.

Unlock the mystery of why our solar system makeup is unique of all the planetary systems discovered.

[Red Badger]

We have no way of knowing that for sure.

There are billions of stars in each of billions of galaxies.

We could actually be commonplace on a cosmic scale, but at this time we can’t tell................

[Disambiguator]

NASA, et al, REALLY need to get together and change the name of this thing.

All the planet's names are of Roman origin, except one, which uses the Greek name.

Curious.

[PIF]

We do know that of all the ones found so far ours is one of a kind.

I would welcome another probe to the planet. It would be worth it to study it in depth. The whole “90deg axis tilt” is weird.

[telescope115]

I’ll be 70 this year, and I’m thinking the same thing.

[pas]

I was expecting NSFW.

[telescope115]

My gastroenterologist has already been there…
