In my quest to discover intelligent life in the universe, I found this. Besides the headline, these are my favorite lines:

• “There is a reason for the recent spate of activity on Uranus.”

• “This region on Uranus is covered by a substantial, and nearly featureless, cloud of methane.”

• “These are interesting times, indeed, for Uranus watchers.”

Call me a third-grader, but Uranus jokes are still funny.
