Did Something Massive Smash Into Uranus?

At first I was thinking this might be an article from The Onion, but no. Probably didn't help that I read it in a voice similar to that of Beavis or Butthead...

"Uranus is truly a mystery. Will humans finally take up the task to explore it?"

    Well went to the doctor a couple weeks ago and he said
    "Uranus is fine"

    Maybe he knows something we don't

    Has anyone ever asked Neil Degrasse Tyson to discourse on this topic?
    It must be a key area of discussion among astropysicists and planetary scientists.

    Poor Uranus, the butt of many jokes.



    2 channel: Anthem 225 Integrated amp; Parasound Ztuner; TechnicsTT SL1350; Vincent PHO-8 phono pre; Marantz CD6005 spinner; Polk SDA2BTL's; LAT International speaker cables, ZU Mission IC's and power cables all into a PS Audio Dectet Power center.

    Other; M10 series II, M7C's, Hafler XL600 amp, RB-980BX, Parasound HCA-1500 amp , P5 preamp, all in storage. All vintage Polk have had crossover rebuilds and tweeter upgrades.

    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact.

    Imagine making politics your entire personality.

    Like many on this site, Uranus is just a non-conformist.

    Just being a little rebellious and giving the Sun the equivellant of the finger is all. Couple of million years from now he’ll probably straighten out, and it will be a non-issue.
