Fact: You should pronounce it "YURR-rin-us," not "Your Anus." For years this beautiful and underappreciated ice giant has been subject to childish mockery due to this ignorant pronounciation.



Meanwhile, it sits nearly two billion miles away, silently tolerating your juvenile jokes and butthole obsessions, not judging you for your relentless disrespect. God, you suck and should feel bad.

Another fact: It's tilted on its side. It also rotates in the opposite direction of all the other planets except Venus.



Methane gas gives Uranus a beautiful blue appearance. It is arguably the prettiest planet. What? Saturn has rings? Who gives a poo poo. Our big blue boy's rings are sexier.



Quick quiz: What's the coldest planet? Neptune since it's the farthest from the sun, right? Not so fast, hotshot. Uranus has recorded a low temperature of -370 degrees Fahrenheit. Neptune meanwhile bottoms out at a balmy -360 F.

Uranus has 27 known moons. They are all traditionally named after characters from works of William Shakespeare and Alexander Pope, giving them the nickname of "the literary moons." These include Titania, Oberon, Ariel, Miranda, Cressida, Ophelia, Desdemona, and, of course, Juliet.



Respect Uranus. If you don't, you might be the true rear end in a top hat.

It seems like some of you aren't ready for the maturity level it takes to appreciate a spectacular planet like Uranus. I recommend you start your introduction to astronomy with a planet that's easier to understand and pronounce, like Eyarth or Venice.

Ok these people are allowed to pronounce it wrong because this loving rules. Nobody else though.
