Saturn.

[Lies]

OHSHI-

[Suu]

Ohai.

Shitty name, pretty planet, no?



If it wasn't for the fact that Uranus makes people giggle like retards when it's mentioned, it could almost be cooler than Saturn.

[AFK]

Yeah, the name is unfortunate. 

I somehow imagine every time an astrophysicist hears it pronounced a certain way that he secretly wishes he could Force choke them out. 

[Suu]

The correct way to say it is Ooh-rahn-oos, (Think of alternate Greek spelling Ouranos.) Not Yur-Anus or Urine-us. 

[Cainad (dec.)]

Runs rings around all the others. 

you should see it do corners, now that 'S a turn

I poomped.

[AFK]

Neptune's alright too, though it's got a big splotch too, like Jupiter.  Needs some Proactiv. 

[Suu]

BUMP.

[Bruno]

Yuo gise are forgetting about Saturn's hexagonal anus.

[LMNO]

Needs Goatse.

[Kai]

Don't all the gas giants have rings of some sort?

[Bruno]

Don't all the gas giants have rings of some sort?

Goatse had a ring.

It all makes sense now.

Cassini pwns your face!



    Rays of light from the sun have taken many different paths to compose this glorious image of Saturn and its rings.

    This view looks toward the unilluminated (north) side of the rings and, at the top of the image, the night side of Saturn. Sunlight has been reflected off the illuminated side of the rings to light the planet's southern hemisphere, seen here as a bright band of yellow-orange. The northern hemisphere, in the top left corner of the image, is dimly lit by light diffusely scattered through the rings. The planet's shadow cuts across the rings, but light reflected off the southern hemisphere backlights parts of the C ring, making them visible in silhouette. A similar lighting arrangement can be seen in Saturn by Ringshine.

    Bright points of light in the image are stars occulted by the rings.

    This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the rings from about 41 degrees above the ringplane. Images taken using red, green and blue spectral filters were combined to create this natural color view. The images were acquired with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on March 20, 2009 at a distance of approximately 892,000 kilometers (554,000 miles) from Saturn. Image scale is 50 kilometers (31 miles) per pixel.

Well, ok, but the number of megapixels in a camera doesn't guarantee a high-quality picture because the quality of the lens and other components are also important.

[Suu]

Best thread ever.
