New pictures of ... well, the 7th planet


Seventh planet Uranus suffers from a name that can sound a trifle embarrassing, but it's still a very cool gas giant planet.  And since it has only been visited once by a satellite, it's still pretty mysterious.  So it was interesting to me to see these pictures of Uranus from a ground-based telescope, that show it's got it's own planetary atmosphere circulation system. 



Now, if I you want me to take a detailed look at your nether orifice, I'll pass.
