It amazes me how many new things we're still learning about Uranus, even after decades of getting familiar with that body.

It also has a reddish-brown ring and smells of rotten eggs. My favorite fact, however, is that it rains diamonds on Uranus.

So, like a wet fart? Honestly, I think the scientific community should seriously consider changing the planet's name. Every single article about Uranus, turns into a juvenile joke.
