Best zone post about Uranus

Space/Science » in reply to Trojan found close to Uranus

I think back around 2004-2005, Raoul innocently posted some breaking astro-news concerning a faint new ring around the planet.

There was a false color image with the ring represented as a hazy purple. It was a great photo, which he posted with the title; "Purple ring around Uranus".

Most zoners politely responded, but TB pounced on it.

I wish I could remember his response, but the ensuing laugh-pocalypse left permanent damage.
