Using the Ultra Small Field camera on the Hubble, they were able to photograph the cause:

HAHAHA! They never say "Planet Saturn!" They just tired of people laughing about there being "rings around Uranus!" NASA People: Just act like you don't get the tittering and move on. Thos is the silliest thing I'v eheard since they tried to tell us it was pronounced "(e)-RAHN-(e)s" (e)=schwa

Well, you have to reach your bottom before you can get to Uranus.

It's just Uranus acting up.

"There is very little temperature contrast and very little energy to drive the weather in Uranus," says Sromovsky. "Whatever is happening has to be well lubricated; it has to be a low-friction environment." i>

This wouldn't have happened if Bush signed Kyoto.

And I didn't ask for a butt light. I wanted a Bud Lite.

Get it? Get it (guffaw guffaw)?

No real mystery here. Its been shown that there's a correlation between solar wind, and berylium isotopes on earth. The berylium isotopes get formed though the interaction of cosmic rays and solar wind, and it is generally agreed that cosmic ray levels are pretty much constant. Subsequent research with respect to berylium isotope levels has shown an uncanny correlation to periods of higher and lower global temperatures. The inference was made that somehow solar activity has an extremely enormous influence on the earth's environment. Research has uncovered a huge increase in berylium levels over the last century.

Since man's emission of greenhouse gases is responsilbe for global warming, mans activity must somehow be influencing the intensity of solar intensity. Its stands to reason then, that this influence by man on the sun should be observable being made manifest on other planets within the solar system.

It would not be a great leap then to conjecture that the solar component of galactic cosmic flux MUST be influencing other stellar systems, and by extension other galaxies, also. Man's activities are truly galactic in consequence and MUST be stopped before man makes a total wreak of the entire cosmos. Think about that with the next match you light. Chaos theory postulates the "Butterfly Affect" wherein, with with the lighting fo that cigarette one not only is indiscriminately and with utter wanton abandon subjecting each and every being around onself for miles to oncological hazard, but effectively have extirminated a hereto unknown and unnamed species of gleeperwoxneeklerites that will now NEVER know existance.

Uranus would be barely visible on a clear night at mag 5.8. But light pollution has made anything dimmer than mag 4 forever invisible for most people, so we will never see this planet from earth except through telescopes. As Uranus is developed for its resources when we begin to develop the solar system many will see the planet close up, but that won't happen until the 1967 UN Outer Space Treaty is gone and private property rights in outer space exist.

Touch? A Yes or No would suffice, good sir. The thread doth beg for juvenility!

I'm told that the only polite way to pronounce the name of the otherwise un-namable 7th planet is: OOOOO-ruh-nus, accent on the first syllable, which rhymes with "shoe."

I did read an article that said they had discovered the same warming on other planets in the system. These studies never seem to make the news. If it's happening to all the planets then it can't be human caused. Of course we know their goal is not to "save the planet" but to control the economic development of the US and promote socialism.

Rights, farms, environment ping.
Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from this list.
I don't get offended if you want to be removed.

That would be close to the original Greek pronunciation of the god and also close to the international pronunciation. The anglicized pronunciations make the French laugh.
