have you ever researched uranus? (haha.)

seriously though,

it's absolutely dumbfounding.

it defies all that it should be.

it's not the farthest from the sun,

but still the coldest.

it should orbit the sun upright on its axis,

but it lays sideways.

its seasons are stranger than any other planet.

its magnetic pole is much stronger than what it should be.

storms can rage on for years.

it has 27 known moons,

and 13 known rings.

that's only all the ones we know.

unlike most planets' rings uranus' is expected to last loong into the future.

they should be dissipating like saturns'.

yet they stay stuck and loyal to uranus.

one ring even appears to breathe.

the same can go for its moons.

they are unstable,

unpredictable,

and even thought to crash into each other eventually.

all the astronomers are stumped with this bizarre planet.

nothing comes close to its diversity.

its a shame though,

out of all the planets uranus is definitely the most visually appealing.

yet, it got stuck with the name uranus.

and if that isn't beauty,

then i don't know what is.
