Uranus Talk about a big bang. A "cataclysmic" collision some 4 billion years ago between Uranus and another massive object forever changed the evolution of the giant planet, a new study suggests. Uranus, the seventh planet from the sun, "spins on its side, with its axis pointing almost at right angles to those of all the other planets in the solar system," said study lead author Jacob Kegerreis, a researcher at Durham University in the United Kingdom. Kegerreis and his team ran computer simulations of different massive collisions with Uranus to try to work out how the planet evolved. “The most likely outcome was that the young Uranus was involved in a cataclysmic collision with an object twice the mass of Earth, if not larger, knocking it on to its side and setting in process the events that helped create the planet we see today," he said.
This has been known for years, we learned this in science class in elementary and I've graduated college now.
You should see someone about that dude. The offender could get serious time.
Considering that he knew about it and said nothing, he should get jail time too.

I’ve conditioned myself to pronounce it with the inflection at the beginning of the name rather than on the A, Uranus rather than Uranus, but I still can’t help but smile at headlines like this.
I've personally conditioned myself to pronounce the A as a short A rather than a long one like normal because that sounds closer to the original name of Ouranos, greek god of the sky, and plus it just sounds cooler.
I heard it should be pronounced you-run-us instead of ur-anus or urine-us

Really, Bromander?
So when are we renaming it to Urectum to stop these cheap jabs once and for all?
can i not do that

One of the instances where they should've took the greek name Ouranos instead of the roman one.
gotta get that epik joke in though xdddddddd
I feel kind of dumb for reading the headline and the article in the OP and not figuring out why all the funny ratings until after reading the first post
