"(T)here's not much to see on Uranus, says astronomer Imke de Pater of the University of California, Berkeley."
Can you see Uranus with a telescope, or is it better to just use a mirror?

I have heard that there is some sort of special scope that they use to look at Uranus, and if they find anything wrong, they will send out other probes.
I heard about some of those probes... NASA tried to get one funded, but the government told them to sit on it.
"I don't think I will live enough to see the whole cycle of Uranus," she adds.
I read this whole thing out loud to my wife.
Best. Response. Ever.
Was that the one where they were going to check the temperature by putting a thermometer in Uranus?
Why oh why did I open this thread....
No, this was the one that was supposed to insert a camera and see what was going on in there.
Maybe they'll find out what's causing those darn assteroids.
... The plans were pretty far along until some anal bureaucrat came along and rectum.
No, they've proved pretty convincingly that Uranus is full of gas. That said, those gasses are quite lethal, and since it's in the vacuum of space, it's just hanging around there. Silent and deadly.

Good video. The history was interesting. They were going to name the planet King George, but he was such an a-hole, they called it Uranus, short for Your Royal Anus, King Goerge the Third.
