    Uranus is pretty big.

    279.6 kilometers per pixel? Why not 300, or 100? That’s kind of an odd number to chose…

    Off topic slightly, but I picked up a Baby Einstein dvd about space at the library for my girls to watch while I cook dinner or take a shower (I know, *gasp!* oh the horror!). When it got to the part about Uranus, the narrator mispronounced it every single time. And every time she said it I told my girls, “no, it’s actually pronounced yer-uh-nuhs.”

    You know there’s something wrong with the world when you have to correct an educational dvd.

    YER-UH-NUHS!!! ;)
