  Not phased at all knowing that Uranus is bleached.

  Even though the artificially-saturated color was known at the time among planetary scientists—and the images were released with captions explaining it—that distinction had become lost over time

  Ah, well, releasing images where they’re both light gray circles will certainly help dispel this myth

    No it’s important to be accurate. What if your nan’s got directions to take a sharp right down the hidden driveway after the deep blue planet, but she can only see pale grey planets??? Hmm???

      If it’s so important to be accurate then use more accurate descriptions of where you are sending nan!

      This is why she’s always late to things, because you keep giving her abstract directions like look for the deep blue planet.

  I like the old Neptune more than the new one.

  No problem, I just need a rocket, 7.2 x 10^48 gallons of blue dye, and ten reliable men.

    “We need ten painters to train as astronauts.”
    “Why not get ten astronauts, then train them to use paint?”
    “How about you shut the fuck up instead?”

      launches into tirade about all the specific details about painting that astronauts wouldn’t know off the top of their heads

      …

      “Literally tell me what a Hohmann transfer is. I’ll give you a full day, you can research, meditate, whatever you want. If after that you can describe it me accurately then maybe we can train you to be an astronaut, you salt of the earth motherfucker.”

    Nobody tell them that dye makes almost no difference to cloud colour.

    • sundray@lemmus.org ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      That’s ok, I’ll just take the rocket and the men, then.

  Aww that’s a shame, the real Neptune looks really dull.

  Can we compare this one with Pluto before we decide which one to keep?
