Title: Hubble just spotted something massive coming out of Uranus
Post by: roamer_1 on May 24, 2017, 01:41:35 pm
Really, there's only one reason I had to post this...   :whistle:

Bursts of solar winds caused a huge sparkling region on Uranus, scientists observed this by using Hubble space telescope. Electrons that come from various origins such as solar winds, the planetary ionosphere and moon volcanism, when charged in the form of streams caused this, researchers from the Paris Observatory used the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope to observe this on Uranus. They were able to catch it in powerful magnetic fields and, controlled it into the upper atmosphere, where set off spectacular bursts of light when made interactions with gas particles, such as oxygen or nitrogen.

Beautiful auroras and rings.

And now for a Uranus joke.

Like painted kites, those days and nights, they went flyin' by
The world was new, beneath a blue umbrella sky
Then softer than a piper man, one day it called to you
I lost you, I lost you to the solar wind

Now, now... Calm down everyone. This is science.

Who'd have ever thought there would be hot gases full of sparkling light coming out of Uranus??

But did you know Uranus has strong magnetic fields?
Amazing!

No. But that does explain several embarrassing incidents.

Nice. Chili AND salad on top.

And now for a brief (snicker) public announcement (safety first):

If you are attempting to see hot gases full of sparkling light coming out of Uranus, it is best to wear pants.

In addition, chow down some shredded pepper jack cheese, a diced raw onion, a few hard boiled eggs and several cans of Old Style beer and do about 20 jumping jacks afterwards and you've got yourself an Alderaanian Level Event!

Sounds like my every day diet, and I am sure I have no idea what you are talking about.... :)
Well, other than the Hileman's - and I do miss Hileman's... Though PBRs will do, in most things...

And the jumping jacks... so there's your problem, right there... It's the jumping jacks, I am sure of it.

If that is your daily diet, I am assuming you have a Gastroenterologist/proctologist on retainer?

I fear for your 'O-ring' safety.
