(CNN) -- New images from the Hubble Space Telescope show the planet Uranus has two additional moons and two faint rings never observed before.

That isn't a nice gesture to make about wdlove, Kevin. He is a friend of mine and is a sweet, dear person to me. Not nice at all.

Uranus is big and gassy, right?

I think NASA should probe Uranus.

Whew. I have to admit that when I opened this thread I was a bit afraid that there might be something goatish in it. Well. Maybe not goat per se, but you know...

Anyways, go Hubble!

Ah, Uranus is so beautiful... I definitely prefer Uranus over any other (planet, I mean).

It doesn't surprise me that there are more moons around Uranus; it is, after all, quite large.

Any ramblings are entirely my own, and do not represent those of my employers, coworkers, friends, or species

Yeah, but these days NASA will count and floating rock around a planet as a moon. I mean really, where do we draw the line.

The line exists between float and orbit.

Nice pic.
I also was going to be really annoyed if this was some clever joke title.

It was a clever joke title. It just so happens that there are rings around Uranus.
