Always with so much knowledge of the cosmos. I love it. I love your fascination with the sky and planets and stars and sun and moon. I have a moderate love for the sky (I don't look enough and there's light pollution here too but not as bad as Philly)... and I love learning from you, so thank you. ♥️☀️
Glad to oblige! He's a puzzle! And there will be an orbiter and probe sent there but it won't leave until maybe 2031 so it will be the 40s before get good data back!
That's a lovely essay, I like the season, and approve of your approach, the darkness is hard on folk, and we keep our 'christmas tree' up all year, not zig and zag style as it takes decoration to be Christmassy. I have fought hard to not say that I love the planet you wrote about, and my laughter this morning contemplating is like a drain... Or sewer.
Not one for fairs, the sweet smells are off putting,
I've also become staggeringly old (despite lingering immaturity, school boy humour, and youthful enthusiasm) and look at some things and go - It's not a book or comic....

Thanks, Laura! I find it reminds me there so much wonder in the universe and that so many people want to explore it further. ✨️
There's so much there about Uranus that I didn't know! Thank you for sharing - it's all fascinating and inspiring.

Wow! Mind-bending to think of how new data with new tech may change everything we know - and what our own context will be by then…
Margaret is a great name for a moon! Maggie for short.
She's named after the character in Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, and she's referred to as Meg, in one instance.
Maggie is a good name but not for everyone. I know a Margaret who hates all the alternatives, even Peggy & Peg.
I like Margaret. It's a proper, solid name. Peggy is an odd abbreviation!

Thanks, James! I'm glad you liked the piece. I think a light hearted attitude to life is an excellent strategy.
