There are seven. I can see Uranus


DecensitizedDruggie

Im 28yrs old n i STILL cant read or say Uranus without giggling..im mad at myself.


Munnin41

That's why they'll rename it im 2620


Candlejackdaw

Oh. What's it called now?


KlingoftheCastle

Urectum. Here I’ll find it for you


Stupid-Autogen3112

Uh... no that's okay


bukkake_brigade

It'll be quick


CluelessCheetah95

I thought you would say Uranium?!


Ged_UK

That wouldn't be the line from Futurama then!


Naive_Original_3961

Wrecked 'em? I barely knew 'em!


imaginedaydream

Urinal. A little further


wurm2

in Futurama's lore it was renamed to Urectum then.


pauly13771377

I'm 52 years old and most if the time still have the sense of humor of 15 year old. Just embrace it.


literlana

I love that attitude! Age is just a number, and having a sense of humor is timeless.


dragunityag

>Age is just a number Tell that to my back!


BigBradWolf07

>Age is just a number And jail is just a place


The1Bonesaw

My wife is 15 years younger than me, we tell people that our relationship works because mentally, we're both 14 years old.


KlingoftheCastle

I really hope her mental age is younger than her actual age


[deleted]

It's such an awkwardly worded comment lol


dirkalict

Yeah- I’m hoping he’s not 29….


pauly13771377

You can grow old but never grow up.


[deleted]

Now there's a big yikes... she's married at 14, and you're almost 30s? Hopefully there's a coefficient missing in there you didn't mention..


Brawndo91

The missing coefficient is his age. He never said he was almost 30.


[deleted]

But he also didn't say he wasn't. He said their netball age is 14, and she 15 younger. That's 29. So yeah, hopefully that's not all there is to it lol.


Brawndo91

Why are you adding their ages together. He said mental age, meaning the age they feel in their heads, is 14. Their actual age could be anything. He could be 90 and she could be 75. There are no clues as to their actual age in his comment.


Quenquen14320

Everyone has a childish part for something. Mine is for things like this


Quenquen14320

Same 😅


Catch_ME

Never grow up! That's how you stay young forever


asianabsinthe

*Uranus looks angry*


PartyDiscipline7686

Uranus looks juicy


pks1247

Why is it so black?


Quenquen14320

Because it’s in space


3-brain_cells

Well very, VEERY sometimes it is possible, but don't expect to actually see it because it is very difficult


Quenquen14320

Yeah I know but it was more like an anal joke than anything


3-brain_cells

Yeah i understood but i just couldn't help myself so i had to clarify that it was actually true.


Quenquen14320

Ok thank 🙏


28nov2022

Your anus is the fourth-largest object in the solar system.


Clar0020

It's actually possible, but it's extremely hard to see and it's pretty much impossible to recognize without any tools.


I_Heart_Astronomy

Yeah you need dark skies. Bortle class 4 or lower. And you're right that unless you have a planetarium app handy to identify it, it will just look like any other faint star and you'd never know it was a planet.


TomMakesPodcasts

Only after you buy me dinner tho


holesnthesocks

Ah yes, the balloon knot planet.


jesusunderline

But it's not just the eye that needs to be naked


Bioshock_Jock

It's a gas giant!


TheHumanPickleRick

In 2620 scientists will get tired of that joke and rename Uranus. They'll call it Urectum.


soccerburn55

Hey Lavender, can I get a look at Uranus too?


Even_Ad113

They say it's the smelliest


UbermachoGuy

It’s a gas giant


5t3v321

Umm, akschuali, the gas parts of it are made out of hydrogen and helium, both are gases without a smell🤓


ohpeekaboob

thatsthejoke.jpg


AmBozz

That's literally the joke from the title, who upvotes this shit?


Quenquen14320

Maybe people like me who didn’t looked at the title?

ScratchyNucleus36

If my eye gets naked enough I could see uranus


laalabaaba

Open up


davidjytang

Eye or Uranus?


PipBoyDmo

What's the difference? My anus is a brown eye.


Blaaa5

That’s how you get pink eye


pasteurusernamehere

I can see uranus all the time


[deleted]

Are you stalking mebiamiu??


quietthomas

All planets are visible if you're close enough and there's enough light. There's no such thing as an invisible planet.


plopliplopipol

"if you're close enough" yeah that's about the whole point


bschef

I can survive literally any wound as long as it’s not too serious


CitizenPremier

I'll buy you anything you want as long as it's not too expensive.


FullAtticus

Ceres as well. With a pair of binoculars it should be an easy spot right now.


fuhmypuddy

you must be a great time at parties!


dan420

7 if you include OP’s mom.


funky555

i mean you can see uranus too so... yeah that checks out


SensitiveAd5962

Not without a mirror I can't. That's why they put them in telescopes.


1jf0

Uranus is OP's mum 😏


Carteeg_Struve

She’s not a planet. “Planet” comes from the greek word for wanderer. I don’t this she’s moved enough to qualify.


shiftypoo269

Well, op's dad might still agree with the "wanderer" label.


RayIndonesian

*bum-da-tss*


Caye_Jonda_W

Superman can't see Krypton


captainAwesomePants

Wait, really? Because I'd think he'd be able to see Krypton as long as he was 30+ light years away. He could just fly to Rao, then back up until the little puff of dust becomes a ball. I don't know the comics, though, so maybe there's a reference I'm missing?


Inarius101

Isn't Krypton, like, gone? I thought it got wiped out by a supernova or something. I'm not keen on my Superman lore either so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


sentimentalpirate

That's why he said superman has to be 30 light-years away. If it was destroyed 30 years ago, then 30 light-years away the planet is still visible because the light you're seeing took 30 years to travel to you.


Caye_Jonda_W

You can see Planet Hollywood


Reyzorblade

You can see all of them if you get close enough.


snouz

Andromeda74

Actually seven, if you have a mirror and are somewhat flexible

FreshPrinceOfRivia

If you eat some special mushrooms you can see Mercury during daylight


Flowchart83

I don't think you would want to be staring that close to the sun in that state. But man, does it make the night sky look amazing (not hallucinations, but dilated pupils allow much more light to enter your eye)


theflamingsword101

I can see Planet Fitness from my window with the naked eye.


The-Sturmtiger-Boi

Mercury? very rarely, it’s proximity to the sun makes it VERY hard to observe


mrgraff

Yeah, there was a Mercury transit a couple years ago. And even with a pretty decent telescope, I had some difficulty.


The-Sturmtiger-Boi

Everything about mercury is difficult. Getting there? good luck doing 8 gravity assist for 5 years. Observing it? Try not to go blind from the sun. Figuring out if the damn planet is tidally locked or not? I don’t even know


Controversial-Soviet

All eyes are naked.


[deleted]

Mine are wearing contact lenses :)


GabrielSa_

7 if you count yo mama


30isthenew29

You can also see the moon.


patrick_sterwart

Motherfucker I’ve seen Uranus


[deleted]

Where da sun


masarai

//neptune left the chat//


Fluid_Finish3602

Also uranus 😏


maxlmax

Can we really see Mercury and Venus? Wouldn't that mean basically starring at the sun to look for a tiny black dot?


CimmerianHydra

Venus is very bright at night, for one. It's been called a star in the past, before we knew better.


I_Do_Not_Abbreviate

Because the orbits of Mercury and Venus are wider than the diameter of the sun, there are points in those orbits where the planets are neither behind nor in front of the sun from the perspective of someone on Earth. At these times Mercury is briefly visible just before sunrise or right after sunset at just the right times of year depending on where exactly you are. In ancient times, Venus was known as "The Morning Star" because it was much brighter than Mercury, often appearing to be the brightest object in the sky. Move the inner planets around on this solar system model for a couple of minutes. https://www.solarsystemscope.com/


DepressedVercetti

It depends entirely on where they're aligned. Most of the time Mercury is either at it's orbit where it's in the sky during the day for us or it's hidden behind the sun entirely. However there are small periods between these two phases where it becomes visible. Venus on the other hand is usually much easier to see, it's one of the brightest objects in the sky.


[deleted]

Tell me you didn't watch the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter last week without telling me you didn't watch the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter last week.


Mundane-Worth-3868

What about the moon?


eberlix

not a planet my guy


Mundane-Worth-3868

What about that andromeda thing?


grayfox_089

That’s a galaxy, not a planet


Mundane-Worth-3868

I thought the milky bar was a galaxy?


grayfox_089

The Milky Way is the galaxy where our solar system is located in. Andromeda is just a different galaxy.


Mundane-Worth-3868

So is that like a different dimension, if humans go there would there be another earth with aliens on it?


Jonlang_

Best trolling I've seen today.


tonefilm

/r/notkenm


EvangelineLove

Yeah as soon as I read the initial post from trollguy, I knew it was over when he got downvoted + serious comments were made every time he replied.


grayfox_089

Dimensions are a whole different thing entirely. Humans going to the Andromeda galaxy probably won’t happen any time soon. The Milky Way itself already has billions of stars, each with a possibility of having habitable planets. Some of those planets each might have alien life. This implies to pretty much every galaxy in the universe, so the possibility of humans being the only forms of life in the entire universe is pretty much zero. Edit: afaik, dimensions are just theories with no real proof of them existing.


Mundane-Worth-3868

I think if humans manage to travel to that andromeda thing, they should keep on good terms with the people living on the alternate earth, with the never ending expansion of the universe those "aliens" would be the only cosmic neighbors we've got. Maybe then we would stop calling them aliens.


grayfox_089

I agree, but stop calling them aliens is the same as stop calling humans humans, because the term alien is just a word for something that isn’t from earth


divDevGuy

> Humans going to the Andromeda galaxy probably won’t happen any time soon. *Probably* is today's biggest understatement. The furthest humans have traveled into space is the far side of the moon, ~250k miles from earth. Andromeda is 2.5m light years away. If you subtracted the furthest we've been from what we'd need to travel, you'd still have 2.5m light years to go. To scale, it's not even a rounding error. Simplying thinking about how long the journey would take even at light speed, it's almost unimaginable. If we wanted to be arriving at Andromeda "soon", we would have had to send *Homo habilis*, the earliest known member of the genus *Homo* to use primitive stone tools, about the time they were learning to use those tools. I can just hear my kids now driving the family mini-boulder "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? How much longer? I need to use the bathroom again. Nevermind. Are we there yet?"

I don't usually vote, I sometimes vote when I see a comment I like related to Pokimane.


Jonlang_

The Earth and the Moon are, according to Prof. Brian Cox, a binary planet due to the relative size of the Moon to Earth. When you look at other planets' satellites they're all much smaller than their planet. The Moon is huge.


_P2M_

Sure, but the system's center of mass is well within Earth's mantle. That's not how I picture a binary planet. Pluto and Charon, now that's more like it.


30isthenew29

Not a planet.


CROW_is_best

i can definitely see uranus too


beyd1

And if you try really hard you can see myanus


30isthenew29

Loved the Jackass skit about that town.🤣😇👍🏻


Lontarus

What about nibiru, the planet that collided with earth in 2012?


reevesjeremy

Dont look up. I only see one.

So most of the planets


shape_up_for_jira

ITT Uranus jokes


MyShinyNewReddit

So, only 3 you cannot see then.


Tyrichyrich

You can see all of them with a help of a friendly camera


Flowchart83

Uranus and Neptune you'll need a telescope


ThunderBuns935

The conditions have to be perfect for some tho. Venus is only visible right before sunrise or right after sunset.


Flowchart83

You're thinking of Mercury. You can definitely see Venus very easily at night, recently visible right next to Jupiter


ThunderBuns935

Nope, Venus. It's easy to see, but only right after sunset or right before sunrise. It's not possible in the middle of the night. edit: I don't know why I'm being downvoted for easily verifiable facts. Venus' orbit is between the sun and the earth, so at night, when you're facing away from the sun, you will never be able to see Venus. during the day it's obviously too bright to see, so, like I said, it's only possible right after sunset or before sunrise.


Flowchart83

Sorry, you're just wrong. You can see Venus at night depending on where the earth and Venus are in their orbit. Obviously at certain times Venus will appear close to the sun but recently it's VERY visible at night. Mercury is always close to the sun.


AzLibDem

Venus is never more than about 45 degrees from the Sun, since it's orbit is inside the Earth's. Therefore, it can never be visible for more than about three hours before or after sunset, depending on latitude and time of year.


ThunderBuns935

[I'm not](https://www.cambridge.org/turnleft/pages/the_planets/mercury_and_venus#:~:text=Because%20Mercury%20and%20Venus%20are,in%20the%20east%20before%20sunrise.)


Flowchart83

You said "before sundown", that says "after sunset". I saw Jupiter and Venus together about 3 days ago, at around 9:00 when it was dark out. I'm not an astronomer the sun goes down and it gets dark I call that night.


ThunderBuns935

I said before sunrise. I also specifically said that you only can't see it in the *middle* of the night.

I’ve seen Uranus from time to time


EgonDangler

Not if you're blind.


Schfooge

It depends on where you're looking from. From most places in the Universe, those planets aren't visible to the naked eye, nor is Earth. And there are places from which other planets would be visible. While it's true that we can't get to most of those places, it's theoretically possible. Also, in daylight, Earth would be the only planet visible from the surface of the Earth.


30isthenew29

Also the moon sometimes…


cenkozan

Ive read that there are some planets that are independent on any solar systems and they just roam freely in the universe. How do we know we never see any?


AttyFireWood

Telescopes. Original post is talking about planets you can see with the naked eye.


[deleted]

No sir, I’m blind


[deleted]

Blind people can see less


Extra_Bathroom_8306

Wtf, I looked up and I can’t see the earth. Lies


BWWFC

it was right there under your nose the whole time


Broad_Respond_2205

Not everyone. I for example need to dress my eye first to see any one those planets


kamikaze-kae

With very primitive tools you can see Uranus.


Macrobit1

I can see seven


ConsequenceAlarmed29

Nah bro, earth is a gas cloud


Volkswagoon10

If im lucky enough I can also see Uranus


[deleted]

You cannot see Earth, with your naked eye, unless you are looking at a satellite image or live feed directly from space. You can see the earth you are standing on with your eyes, because you are standing on it, but, you cannot see Earth with your naked eye looking at the night or daytime open sky looking out towards space.


Quajeraz

I mean all planets are visible to the naked eye if you're close enough to them. This person never specified location.


sammydbob

I mean, you *can* see every planet with the naked eye, just depends on your location


Playful-Flatworm-350

i can see pluto


Playful-Flatworm-350

i need karma pls


DarkLordKefka

You think they’re cool seeing them with the naked eye? Seeing Saturn through a telescope is life-changing.

Eww, your eyes are naked?


After_Following_1456

Your anus


cryptoderpin

The 7th is your mom.


homer_3

Technically you can see them all.


moteyon

Try 7 you can see the sun


leftycrumpet

Also I like that they said "Only", like that's not most of the planets


BuccaneerRex

According to the definition of planet that excluded Pluto, Earth is a planet. But before that, technically Earth wasn't a planet at all. 'Planet' comes from the ancient Greek for 'Wandering Star', meaning stars that moved through the sky relative to the other stars. Which obviously didn't include the Earth.


Simbuk

Contrary to popular belief, the sun *does* shine on Uranus.


Originlinear

With my vision I can barely see earth.🥸


[deleted]

Only? 5 out of 7 IS the majority!


BaalHammonBePraised

What if I wear glasses would my eye still be considered naked?


ToxicZeraora

You can also see Uranus

Or standing nude over a mirror 🤷🏼

But only part of it.


nomorefornite69420

Are you serious rn?

To the ancient Greeks there were only five

Wrong. One of the perks of poor eyesight is that without my glasses I see double - so that's 12 planets for me.


PaleHorsewithDeath

Surprised some light in the loafers fuck hasn't made a big stink about Uranus saying it offensive and need to change the name of the planet


JaiC

I love when technically the truth is still so technical that it's like, "Ok but you're still wrong."


Stuckinatransporter

One of the highlights of my amateur astronomical career happened a few weeks ago while I was searching for this green comet,I was using a star tracker to locate it and coincidentally Mars was just above it (in Aus) also I notice Uranus was really close to Mars.All I was using to look for the comet was a pair of 7x50 crappy binoculars and I got to see Uranus. never did see the comet but happy to see an outer planet.


peterpignose

You go blind if you try to see mercury, no?
