Two moons around Uranus. Is this a set up or what?

I was wondering what was circling around back there.

The moons are 8 to 10 miles across...about the size of San Francisco.

Sheesh, can't we have at least one thread that isn't about Hellery!?

The moons are 8 to 10 miles across (12 to 16 km) -- about the size of San Francisco --

But not nearly as 'far out'. ;-)

Did you know that there's a ring around Uranus?

The moons are 8 to 10 miles across (12 to 16 km) -- about the size of San Francisco -- and were discovered with the Hubble Space Telescope.

Great idea - let's move San Fran to one of those two moons.

Life cannot possibly exist on Uranus.

That's out on the edge of the solar system. Uranus's moons and Pluto could possibly be stepping stones to the Kuiper Belt, which would likely be stepping stones to the next star. And here we sit barely able to operate in low earth orbit. Let's get moving, NASA!

Okay, I'll do it. Why is the Starship Enterprise like toilet paper? They both circle Uranus looking for Klingons.
