Uranus - Sixty Symbols

[comrade110397]

Uranus+George= George's anus

[slondsha]

i think we should start calling it "Sol 7" to end the stupid jokes, which only work in English btw

[Nadeeja94]

I don't get it. Whats so funny about the name Uranus?

[upisoft2]

Making joke of Uranus, eh?

In Soviet Russia Uranus is making joke of you!

[NewgroundsOwnSBB]

OF COURSE Uranus is full of methane.

[theeyeofthecyclops]

6:09 yo ever heard of personal space!!

[MrSuperZangief]

I am exited about yranus

[abbe556]

So they are saying that Uranus has lots of gas?

[Daruqe]

We could just pronounce it "ooRAnus"

[MrMaffen]

@Daruqe or "ur anus"

[otur1]

@~0:24 "These days, you try to say it as quickly as you can, and move on to talk about the exciting things that go on there..."

How is that better (LOL ?)

[adityagnet]

Hey, I have a question. Do all the planets orbit in the same plane? If the do, then why?

[WetNoodle9]

@adityagnet Yes they do. It is the consequence of conservation of angular momentum. Not only do they rotate in one plane but they all rotate in the same direction, which tells you a lot about the origin of the solar system. Look up a video on gyroscopes to see conservation of angular momentum in action.

[cutiepie316289]

my dad has that app on his phone which shows the name of stars, and planets, galaxies, etc... and him and I were looking through the phone, I thought I saw Uranus, so I said "dad look! Its Uranus!" We both started laughing SO HARD.

[SNESguy1992]

It's pronounced URINUS but people call it URANUS, ok...both names sound perverted but that's my opinion. ;)

[XJproto]

Uranus has a lot of methane xD

[RagingBubuli]

Scientists probes Uranus.

[e2theeyepie]

Uranus is gassy.

[lucidwebpress]

It has its own theme song you know...

Journey to the Seventh Planet

[alifaanication]

omg her eyes

[Randimable]

There's alot of methane in Uranus .. interesting

[MinecraftNao]

Urine us?

I prefer Your Anus.

[01000110I01010101]

youranus containing a lot of methane... what a suprise

[Barneyblue18]

Ur anus is over 51,408 kilometers!EWW!

[wsxvgy]

We are told by the first presenter, Dr. Amanda Bauer, that "Uranus has 27 moons ... named after the characters in Shakespearean plays and novels" but Shakespeare was not a novel writer, he was a playwright and poet. Nice video; thank you to all concerned.

[eruptoin]

@wsxvgy really? bit nitpicky don't you think?

[wsxvgy]

@eruptoin No, there is an error of fact in the video. Some people would believe he was a novelist as a result.

[AprilSilverWolf]

It doesn't matter how you pronounce it because it sounds bad either way. Either sounds like "youranus" or "urine us" So...just can't win!

[Chronosaur]

what, there's a lot of methane in uranus???

Hohoho. Wonder how many other people have said that.

[aqouby]

Who here also use to say "youranus" when you were a kid, then changed to "urinis" when you grew up? ... Who also clicked this planet to hear what they had to say of it? Thumbs up!

[PerfectRunner]

did she mean 42 earth years or 42 uranus years of darkness?

[2xsf]

@PerfectRunner

42 earth years. .5 Uranus years

[ViruzErazar]

don't point Uranus at the sun you might experience 42 years of darkness.

[frichikendz]

Now, I know Earth is an oblate spheroid, and I presume that is one what to tell it is at a 23.5 degree tilt. But Uranus seems to be a perfect sphere. How do people deduce that it is on its side if it is a perfect sphere?

[Ottmar555]

-So, what does Uranus smell like?

-*Sigh* Methane...

[danielbluesmoke]

@Ottmar555 Smell a sheep while it farts! You'll get a pretty good idea! LOL!

[meteosurreal]

@Douchiracy What... the... fucking... shit? That's weird, I had no idea any discovery like that was made, good work, matey!!! *bear hugs*

[schizer]

One question: If it has huge amounts of methane in its atmosphere, wouldn't a meteorite or a single spark or heat light the entire planet up?

[smoggert]

@schizer Given the spark would generate enough heat, you still lack oxygen to create your inferno.

[schizer]

@smoggert I see.. But wouldn't the reaction itself already produce an inferno regardless whether there is oxygen present? Kinda like how the sun burns right? The nuclear reaction itself produces fire but there isn't oxygen involved is there?

[smoggert]

@schizer methane is a molecule a.k.a. CH4, CH4 does not undergo nuclear reaction, it's not possible to create the conditions for fusion on Uranus.

[schizer]

@smoggert What I meant was won't the reaction between heat and methane create fire regardless whether there is oxygen? Sure it won't sustain, but it's still gonna blow wouldn't it? I'm pretty sure there isn't oxygen in the sun, but the reaction itself creates the fire. So won't the chemical reaction between methane and heat already create a fire?

[damianpaz]

Just think about it for a second... If you were given to choose between George and Uranus what would you pick? It's all a matter of self-preservation!

[lukas3606]

could Uranus have possibly hit a something with a big mass and turned onto its side and broken the big mass into 27 pieces and the gravitational pull of Uranus pulled the masses of rock into its gravitational orbit; making the masses become Uranus's moons.

[NWBE4ST]

that first chick is a vampire look at he eyes!

[NWBE4ST]

that chick is a vampire look at he eyes

[KizunaNoHimitsu]

I love learning about the planets. :)

[xsni]

LoL!

[sal0212]

urectum

[samdurand1]

this is really boring :/

[chode692themax]

@samdurand1  ur anal

[lmFromNorway]

So ur-anus is peculier?

[Wesselx]

1.  Type ur''spacebar''anus

2. Read it

3. Laugh

[JoeOf91]

imagine an alien invasion

aliens: surrender earthlings: we're here to invade you.

humans: huh?..who are you? where are you from?

aliens: *with a deep serious robotic voice*...we're from Uranus.

humans: LOLROFLCOPTER

aliens1 to the boss:i don't think they're taking us seriously.

[VoyagesInEnglish]

@JoeOf91 the voyager came to wipe out the kligons on uranus

[danjoelabrenica]

@JoeOf91you just made my day!

[DrD0000M]

@0:30 "...the exciting things that go on there."

[Shavarnarak]

He wanted to hug it and pet it and call it George.

Seriously though... George... Uranus...

They should have named it Minerva I think, if they wanted a roman deity name. Or Ouranos if they had insisted on that particular name, just use the greek spelling. (Uranus was mainly a greek concept anyway.)

[Qulopuaa]

Seems like Tycho knocked Uranus to it's side.

[jonandronelle9]

wanna here the sounds from myanus?

[platemaker]

The scientific community is changing the planets name to..Urectum

[poorsoulja]

You mean "Ur-ah-nium".

[serpentslayer213]

could Uranus' multiple moons make up for one large moon. and tip it over

[DanJenification]

Why does Earth have such a large moon compared with the gas giants?

[Riversfirefly]

@DanJenification Some people say Luna came from a huge collision between Earth and another planet, but no one really knows. lol. It is cool, though, that Luna's so big in comparison with Earth. :D

[crytodaysmiletomorre]

I needed this so I could understand what I am talking about in science.

[tapelegs]

Now we just need to get you guys a show on evening television and all will be well with the world.

[Mojosbigstick]

We wrote a sign on the back of our rag float:

"Down with Mars! Up Uranus!"

Then again, we were still teenagers...

[Ormaaj]

All this talk about Moons, Methane, Uranus. Ha!

[1000wrongdecisions]

The videos on astronomy are my favourite especially the planets, each so different from the other. I know you finished on astronomy but it'd be great to listen to the experts talk about the other celestial phenomena like galaxies, comets, the moons etc

[edderz101]

Ihateanime your a fucking loser. Go watch futurama and get iut of the rock you live under. Jesus christ

[krackfoxtube]

YOUR ANUS

[madman123456]

When will it be renamed to "Urectum" to end that stupid Joke? :D

[iHateAnime4LIfe]

@madman123456

Are you kidding?

the name Urectum stinks, "Ur-Anus" is much much much better

[SpankTV]

@madman123456

Remember to thank Futurama for that one.

[dezent]

I think George would be a great name, thank you for all the great videos!

[MrEurgbp]

uranus is such a bad word... should be changed to urectum ©Futurama

[MrChopin333]

listen. you either want problems or you want to get along with people. Its not funny to joke about this, the pronunciation of Uranus. Stop now at what your doing. Stop.

You heard me now stop. Ive had it up to here now stop. You stupid scientists should spend more time in english class than in the lab. Learn. Learn. Its not pronounced like a "butt" or a "bum" or "anus" its urenus sounding. LEARN.

[NekuraCa]

Does Uranus experience axial precession, like the Earth? If not, why not? If so, do the moons' orbits shift too?

[KarbineKyle]

AWESOME! Uranus is strange. It's one of my favorites, because it's so odd in construction. Perhaps it had a moon, like Neptune's moon Triton, which is the largest moon with a retrograde orbit. Eventually, Triton's orbit will become more elliptical, causing it to collide with Neptune. Perhaps this happened in the past to Uranus. It also has 5 major moons (27 total). The planets Uranus & Neptune should have their own missions, to study and probe the moons too: More should be known about these 2!

[Ch18dp1]

Ur-anus*

[Ch18dp1]

It's pronounced urahnus not ur a

[kmolnardaniel]

I wish i would have teachers like you... Passion like yours...

[FlashFizz]

Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn were known to be planets for thousands of years and their dates of discovery will never be known. The neat thing about Uranus is that it was the first planet with a definitive discovery date (March 13, 1781). It is also sometimes barely visible to the unaided eye so it could have been discovered thousands of years ago.

[MrEurgbp]

so that's what it's called Your Anus - it is full of methane =)

[nealezumm]

@MrEurgbp funny - assuming you're talking about a vegan butt though.

[fuffoon]

It is not urahnus. Say it right and enjoy the joke, stop being so PC. As of yet, there are no signs of life on Uranus.  It's no fun to say Urahnus. Uranus is a gas planet.

[Kokia08]

hehe your anus

[Jmmerdan]

It doesn't suprise me that de name 'Uranus' came from Greece..

[HiAdrian]

3:38 somehow got to me, Saturn is unbelievably beautiful.

[tylerkersey]

you guys should do some one the new planet!

[Drag0nfoxx]

@tylerkersey - There is no new planet ._.

[ElveeKaye]

Urine-us doesn't sound any better than Ur-anus, to me. =D

[VBugattiV]

Something the size of earth knocking into Uranus.... giggle.

[engelteir]

wait... if the axis is pointing to the sun... wouldnt one hemisphere be in constant daylight and teh other in constant darkness? even if it does take 42 years for one full revolution... it would still have the same axis pointing towards the sun??

[Juxtaroberto]

@engelteir No, the "north" always points in the same direction, so for half the year it has light on it, and for half the year it doesn't. The planet doesn't "turn" so that the same pole is always facing towards the sun...

[engelteir]

@Juxtaroberto ahh i was getting confused, thinking it was like moon, and the one face always faced the sun... lol.

[engelteir]

@Juxtaroberto ahh i was getting confused, thinking it was like moon, and the one face always faced the sun... lol. like the moon does to earth

[puncheex]

@engelteir: No - the pole, like the poles of every planet, always point at a single point in the star field (and, yes, that point slowly changes because of precession, but it is a very slow motion). So one of the poles will point in the general area of the sun, and then 42 years later will point away from it, and then back.

[formula406mpfi]

..I know why Uranus is tilted the way it is. This has nothing to do with how it formed/migrated....

[DeltaPhi79]

@formula406mpfi Do tell.

[rewtnode]

According to "Futurama", which plays around 3000, Uranus got a new name around the year 2600 to get rid - once and for all - of the silly joke about its name. The new name is: Urectum.

[DFTBA10000]

This may be too crazy, but i can't help but wonder. could this mysterious massive moon be what we now know as Ganymede, Io, or Titan? (their masses seem around the right number)

[lyue1996]

Uranus - Ur anus xD

[jgilb100]

Uranus has 27 moons, Uranus is full of methane, Uranus is knocked on it's side, Uranus was about to be named George

[1inmotion1]

how ironic... the planet is uranus and its atmosphere is methane.

[Zeldakitteh]

Maybe, somewhere far away, a runaway moon is chugging along.

[GodFormedUsTM]

hahahaha, that would be hilarious to have a planet named George hahahahaha, thats awesome, i guess uranus is quite funny as well, but thats awesome

[sirnicholson]

lol

[thirdclass2006]

I've taken to pronoucing the name as "You-RAN-us".

Other manner of pronounciation I've seen (but never heard so far) is "Oo-RAN-us", since it's supposed to be closer to the original Greek name.

[Skaarjguy]

The new pronunciation still sounds wrong, as it sounds like "You're in us" or "Urine us," but less so than "Your Anus."

Haha, we almost had two planets in the solar system not named after a god (the first being Earth). Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, George, and Neptune (Pluto too!) :D

[MrNDSteinbach]

Scientist should change it's name to something less humiliating...

Like Urectum!

JK

Uranus is my favorite planet...

[kbcbcofme]

...wassnt that in Futurama?

[MrNDSteinbach]

Yes, yes it was...

[Docs209]

Can just imagine the Virgin interplanitary holidays rep saying "And if you look out the window to your right you will see George".

[electra]

I always thought that one of the poles of Uranus always pointed toward the Sun as it makes a full orbit. The statement in this video seems to imply that it does not.

[puncheex]

@electra; No, like a broken watch, it points (more or less) towards the sun twice a Uranian year.

[Keimori12]

OH MAN!! I'd totally call it George!! from now on (unless i need to seriously descuss it) i will totally refer to Uranus as Planet George!

[Doogeedoo12]

Hey guys! If you look through my telescope, you'll see George from here! :P

[dicekar]

uranus is full of methane eh.... how fascinating haha myanus has some methane too

[GuppyPal]

Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn... George. LOL

[mamp71]

George was a good name.....who changed it?

[Digeridude]

Uranus is gaseous.

[Films4You]

Methane comes from (Your)Ur-anus LOL

[georgiafbi]

Question: would it be possible for the planet to rain Diamonds with all that methane in its atmosphere? Seeing that the planet is about 4 times bigger than the earth and if there is enough heat and pressure generated.

[debraisepic]

nope you need carbon

[georgiafbi]

Methane is CH4....there is carbon....

[CluelessPedestrian]

I wonder what caused Uranus's crazy axis. Maybe something happening earlier in the planet's life? Massive collision? I'm guessing since the moon's orbits is in the same plane as Uranus, whatever caused Uranus's axis might have had something to do with the formation of the moons. Maybe their was a collision, and the leftover bits from the planet that collided with Uranus eventually formed the moons. Just my hypothesis.

[georgiafbi]

I wonder if a major shift in its magnetic poles change its axis that much at an early age?

[CluelessPedestrian]

@georgiafbi I think that would've happened before the moons' formation. I don't know enough of planetary science so I am speaking out of ignorance.

[thirdclass2006]

Changes in the magnetic poles do not effect a planet's physical rotation.

Case in point; Earth's magnetic poles reverse once in a while. Our axis however hasn't changed much. Just in whatever direction it points, but that's another phenomenon.

[georgiafbi]

The poles today haven't always been where they are. They have drifted over time to there current location and will continue to drift just like the plate tectonics and pangea have. Does any activity on the earth itself effect its axis?

[thirdclass2006]

I think I implied that the poles drift when I wrote "just in whatever direction it points".

I'll have to look up what causes it.

I do know it's not related to the magnetic field.

[InB4Desu]

@georgiafbi

You seem to be talking about the landmass AT the poles.

Though the poles themselves do wobble around, to my knowledge they do not "drift".

[weldmaster80]

is it just me or is it kinda neet that methain comes from your anus and Uranus... intersting.

[kativilaga]

I love so much your videos guys, thanks so much for your nice work!

[sixtysymbols]

@kativilaga: You're welcome... thanks for watching!

[abridgedking521]

@sixtysymbols maybe a comet hit it while the gases were forming together knocking it on its side than the moons formed.

[jjkul1]

You have 3 seconds to explain why...

I can hear the SOUNDSSSS of URANUS!!@#$@#$%

[shagster1970]

They should rename it to Urrectum.

[paronfisk]

So Uranus is full of methane?

[ArchangelAshe]

@paronfisk Uranus is actually mostly composed of Hydrogen and Helium, there is only 2.3% Methane. But oddly this is enough Methane to make Uranus give off the cyan color. (Source: an Astronomy reference book)

[kbuss10]

@paronfisk wtf lol :D

[SchrodingersPet]

@paronfisk I didn't get it when i read it the first time.

But on the second time i burst out laughing ;D

[NilsMcCloud]

@paronfisk It just never gets old xD

[Applemaste]

It's kind of cool that it goes Uranium, Neptunium, Plutonium.

[majornewb]

hahaha great intro. "uranus" lol

[oisiaa]

I love this channel!

[windowlicker1]

lol planet George.

[Paxmax]

Uranus...well.. it could have been worse like in Florida and the town "Mianus".

Nice report, though a bit thin on the facts side of it...

[Lavabug]

@Paxmax

Hey there's a red truck parked in Mianus!

[Paxmax]

=oD

[mvszao]

Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, George... (?), Neptune

[ginogrz]

you're either saying urine or anus. pick your poison.

[ginogrz]

well I guess only in american english.

[randomviewer896]

*giggles* uranus...

[culwin]

Next you should do planet Nibiru!

[odysseus9672]

Not having done the simulations, I am surprised that the collision theory is ruled out. Depending on the size of the impact, it would certainly produce enough ejecta to form a moon system in the rotational plane of the new body (as our moon did). It's just a question of whether the ejecta could degrade the orbits of existing moons enough to have the planet consume them.

Live & learn, I suppose.

[cuallito]

OH GOD HER PUPILS ARE HUGE

[McPrfctday]

42 years of daylight and 42 years of darkness! That is so dramatic and poetic to think about. That's a piece of information to seed any number of science fiction short stories! Whole civilizations shifting every 42 years. A new contender for me for the HHGTTG question. Thanks for these videos!

[TheRuiMartins]

This guy's theory regarding the moons rotating on Uranus plane was wrong. The Moons could have been formated after the colision therefore picking up the new rotation plane of the planet.

[SCARREDMIND]

was about to say similar.

[TheZefMan]

This is nothing. Do a geology A level! You learn about dolerite dikes (hee hee), dolerite dike intrusions, or penetrations (hee! hee!) AND my personal favourite, slaty cleavage (hee hee!)

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

As for it's moons, have any of these people considered that perhaps before the collision, that it has little to no moons, and afterward the collision slung out enough mass for some moons.

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

I hate people who use this planet as a joke, it's my favorite planet.

[sixtysymbols]

@TheReasonWhyGuy Why is it your favorite planet?

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

I don't know, I just always liked how it rotated.... mercury and mars come tied in second :P

Well, of coarse earth is technically my favorite planet, you know what I mean :D
