I was looking at photos and thought should I ping Molly ....and here you are pinging me...:-)

[Molly Pitcher]

Well, we'll look at them together!:-) I just sent a link via regular email to a couple of astronomy friends.

For comparison, the following link is to a 2000 APOD with an IR picture of Neptune from the Keck.

Hubble is still a little better, but Keck with Adaptive Optics is comparable (and 10 % of the cost).

You sound like FrogDad. How you been since you retired?

LOL! Sorry, I'm not FrogDad but you can bet your life savings that once I do retire I'm certainly not sticking around this damn state where the only affordable winter entertainment is ice fishing!!!!!!

,,, Uranus? Well, we could always talk planets, I guess! Now, where did you hide my wife's diamond necklace?

[ambrose]

Interesting... so then what's up with all the belly aching over NASA not servicing the Hubble? A servicing mission would cost 500 mil...

[Flint]

Always wondered what it looked like, tried using a mirror one time but just couldn't get the angle right.

[speedy]

It's Liberace's little friend. Think I'd better bowel out at this point.

[dglang]

What does the star ship enterprise have in common with a roll of toilet paper?

Thay both circle Uranus looking for Klingons.

[razbinn]

"Ass-teroids?"

Thanks,that just made my day.LOL ! ! !

GOD BLESS AMERICA

[MPJackal]

"You do realize that Uranus consists mostly of toxic gases?"

Well that's what my wife says anyway.

Hey where are the Klingons?

[shaggy eel]

ice fishing!!!!!!

,,, got photos for us, Yukon Jack?

[ErnBatavia]

That's not Uranus, that's a MassHole.

What a visual.....Teddy doing the "Big Dig".

[tdadams]

When was the official pronunciation changed from "youranus" to "urineous"?

Im not sure, but I think it was long before the pronunciation of Niger was changed from "NIE-ger" to Nee-JHER".

[LoudRepublicangirl]

You're getting a lot of wise"cracks" for this.

[CFC__VRWC]

btw - What is that ring of debris around Uranus?

Oh Lord, I really shouldn't, but...
Damned cheap toilet paper does it every time
