only after i eat too much chile & peppers, although stinky cheese has been known to do it too...

BTT!!!!!!

ASSteroids?

Wow, what a stunning picture. I had no idea that Keck was such a marvelous instrument! The atmospheric distortion compensators are a really amazing invention.

[westmichman]

If I keep praying for global warming, there is nothing man can do stop it!

"Clouds from Uranus?"

Yeah - I thought this would be a Taco Bell discussion..

[StoneColdGOP]

That's how my freshman English teacher pronounced it. The Greek way, I think he said.

Oooo-rah-nus, or something.

[farmfriend]

I have a friend in the UP. I think she is praying for global warming as well.

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh.......... heh heh Uhhhhhhhhhh............. You said anus.......... heh heh hehhehheh"

"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 don't suppose anyone is going to suggest that these unusual weather patterns across the solar system are indicative of perhaps the sun as a cause for so-called global warming and unusual weather patterns here on earth

Interplanetary “Day After Tomorrow?” Part 1

The entire solar system - not just our one small planet -- is currently undergoing profound, never-before-seen physical changes. This paper will address and scientifically document a wide variety of significant examples, drawing from a host of published mainstream sources.

We will also outline a new scientific model that, for the first time, coherently explains these simultaneous interplanetary changes via a fundamental “new Physics” - a Physics that predicts “even greater anomalies to come”…

There's clouds....on Uranus....

[sheik yerbouty]

If that's what Uranus looks like, a physician should be consulted.

[MikeD]

Why is the ring around Uranus red? Diaper rash?

It's probably an artifact of the image processing. I'm not sure if this is a "real" color image or a "false" color image corrected from the IR.

I agree with TexasGreg -- impact structures -- but I'm not going to reply directly to him because of the age of the topic. :')
