In Futurama, astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all. Its new name: Urectum.
Oh, that's Good News!
Physicists and astronomers by and large pronounce it something like “urunus”, with the accent on the first syllable. In addition to avoiding jokes, it feels more formal to me, probably because I’ve mostly heard it primarily in academic settings.
Now this is a subject I can really get behind!
The title of this is oddly apropos.
It's clearly deliberate.
On the nose, in a manner of speaking.
Why wasn't it called Caelus in the first place? Was something else using that name?
