Saturn and pals

Name: Anonymous 2010-01-03 3:11

Saturn has rings around it
I searched the skies and I found it

Neptune is the god of the sea
Pluto is too far to see

If Mars had life on it
I might find my wife on it

Mercury's close to the sun
You see it when day is done

Urananus!

Uranus is so far away
If you go and tow my car away

The pronunciation of the name Uranus preferred among astronomers is /ˈjʊərənəs/, with stress on the first syllable as in Latin Ūranus; in contrast to the colloquial /jʊˈreɪnəs/, with stress on the second syllable and a long a, though both are considered acceptable. Because, in the English-speaking world, ū·rā′·nəs sounds like "your anus", the former pronunciation also saves embarrassment: as Dr. Pamela Gay, an astronomer at Southern Illinois University, noted on her podcast, to avoid "being made fun of by any small schoolchildren ... when in doubt, don't emphasise anything and just say ūr′·ə·nəs. And then run, quickly."

Don't change these.
