Inner Asymmetry of Uranus by Photos from Voyager2 and HST

Photos of Uranus; HST in infrared 1994-2003 (a,b,c); and Voyager2, 1986, (d,e)

Infrared photographs of Uranus taken in 1994-2003 (Fig. a, b, c). During these nine years the Uranus has moved for about 38,5° on its orbit (the planet’s year equals 84.014 Earth’s year). We can see the same change of about 38,5° in direction of orientation (in relation to HST) of warmer zone of Uranus’ atmosphere axis and the orbit’s plane of its satellites and rings. The warmer zone of Uranus’ atmosphere clearly turns away from the Sun together with the planet’s rotation axis and the plane of satellites’ orbits. It is an unquestionable proof for that the Sun cannot be the reason of this irregular distribution of temperature in the upper layers of the Uranus’ atmosphere. If it was the Sun that warmed the planet so irregularly, then the warmer zone would always be turned towards the Sun. In the photographs taken by HST we can see a clear correlation of this warmer zone of atmosphere with the plane of equator and the orbit’s plane of Uranus’ satellites. The only logical explanation of such irregular distribution of temperature in the atmosphere of Uranus can only be the big asymmetry of its hot interior. That is why a conclusion appears that the 'false colors' picture of Uranus (Fig. e) sent to the Earth in 1986 by Voyager2 shows the position of hot inner core of this planet, not a layer of 'smog' warmed by the Sun as it was misinterpreted by the members of JPL-NASA Imaging-team in Pasadena.

Uranus Dark Spot

We have a diagram of Uranus Dark Spot, but can we include this somewhere in the article? The dark spot might seem like a storm. Actually Uranus globe I thoguht to seem baby blue possibly baby green sometimes in true color. Dark Spot might even be more inactive than Great White Spot of Saturn's, appears twice as long as the do on Saturn. Uranus Dark Spot appear in 1993, maybe next time is 2020s.--Freewayguy ^{What's up?} 23:04, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Comical name

I think we should include a reference to the comical nature of this planet's name. It is important to modern culture I think. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.165.172.182 (talk) 17:10, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

The problem is, how do you cite something like that? Serendi^podous 17:14, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

References in popular culture? Maybe if a list was made on the discussion page it could be transferred to the article when it gets long enough —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.165.172.182 (talk) 19:55, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

I've been looking for reliable sources, and I can't find any as yet. Serendi^podous 20:17, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

I doubt you'll find any sources explaining the humourous potential in pronouncing Uranus' name as "your anus", but you might make a list of films/games/cartoons/whatever where this gag is made. The only one I can remember off the top of my head is in Futurama, where the professor explains the planet had been renamed in order to put a stop to all the stupid jokes (it had been renamed to "Urectum"). 151.68.5.224 (talk) 22:44, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Such a list would probably be tagged for citation or notability. Serendi^podous 11:00, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
