 I think "Uranus Examiner" has a nice ring to it!  :-*

The (w)hole reason people stop there is the name, to buy Uranus souvenirs. There's a Uranus Fudge Factory, for pity's sake. Otherwise it would have been nothing but a bump in the road on old Route 66. So I don't see how the newspaper name is a problem.

Will there be be job opportunities at the paper? I can see it now: come apply for our openings at the Uranus Examiner.

The Uranus Probe would have been a good name too.

That is one of the most suspicious looking links I've ever seen. If I didn't know Rob, there's no way I would have clicked on it.  :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Why is everyone obsessed with Uranus ?



Finding out more about Uranus is important, because quite a few exoplanets seem to be somewhat similar, or at least like Neptune. Ice giants like this seem to be fairly common, so if we can get to the bottom of how the ones in our own Solar System work, we might learn a bit more about planets elsewhere. That is one of the biggest goal in modern astronomy.

Getting to the bottom seems to be the common theme of this thread.

"Uranus is an unincorporated tourist spot along historic Route 66 and is known for quirky attractions, including a fudge shop and the world’s largest belt buckle."
Well at least they have that.

In other related news, it's likely that Uranus, Jupiter and Neptune once had rings like Saturn long ago.  Plus, Saturn's rings will probably be gone, too, in 100 million years or so.
