the simple fact that someone took pictures of Uranus where the sun doesn’t shine just kinda makes me giggle.
johnald
yes, uranus has a ring, it revealed itself when a large body penetrated deep into it!
i’m glad we’ve all finally managed to get a good peek at it!!

From Harry Potter’s Goblet of Fire:
Oh Professor, look! I think I’ve got an unaspected planet! Oooh, which one’s that, Professor? — Lavender
It is Uranus, my dear — Professor Trewlawney
Can I have a look at Uranus too, Lavender? — Ron

Where the Sun doesn’t shine?! Me thinks someone was playing with words here, especially, considering the subject planet! 
Alex
Erhm. That’s not a ring, that’s a klingon going round and round uranus, till you wipe it off.

I’ve been waiting so long to have a look at the dark side or Uranus.

Seeing as how you’d have to be on the far side of Uranus to take a picture “where the sun doesn’t shine”, a telescope in Hawaii won’t do it for you.
Dag
I was reading that scientist have gotten tired of all the Uranus jokes and are renaming the planet.
They’re going to call it Urectum instead.

A telescope in Hawaii captured these images? Maybe it’s too early in the morning, but I can’t noodle out how that was accomplished. Earth is on a smaller orbit than Uranus, so how do you get a shot of the far side of it?
Miss Cellania
The best I can figure is that the earth is far enough from the sun to get a slight angle when the orbits are right. I’ll try to look that up.

It’s a shame, but due to the poisonous gases that exist, Man can not survive anywhere near URANUS (and… fill in hundreds of other Uranus jokes).
Tim Giachetti
Miss C. you have a great looking dark side. Darth told me so himself.
William
Hawaii?
I would think it would require a probe to examine the dark side of Uranus. Have there been probes to Uranus?
Snappy
The Robotic Overlords used poisonous gases on Uranus too? I think they took their instructions to poison asses too literally. Robots will do that.
Binary Solo!

We can’t get a full planet view of the dark side of a planet in a larger orbit than our own.
