This was posted earlier and taken down immediately. I suspect it was because the connection between blue rings and Uranus led to too much ribaldry.

Seventh planet has a blue ring Seventh planet? FOCL! They are going to have to rename the poor planet at some point. Might I suggest Caelus?

The scientists plan to carry out further observations next year, when the faint rings of Uranus will be more visible.
The scientists double as proctologists.

Blue rings?
Totally unexpected. I would think blue balls in the vicinity a more likely occurrence.
