Default Probing the dark side of Uranus reveals changing rings

Scientists are not sure where they sit, but it appears it's a dusty area.

Frankly, if you think that you are going to be probing the dark side of Uranus, you should really wait to get married.

From the article:
that the rings of micron-sized dust have changed significantly since the Voyager 2 spacecraft photographed the Uranus system 21 years ago.

Wow, I didn't realize it had been that long since we probed Uranus.

It's not Uranus that has the big red spot, is it?

Too funny. I was just showing the article to the boys at work and then sat back and listened to all the dusty and dark Uranus probing jokes.

If there are more prominent rings on the dark side of Uranus, the "intelligent designer" didn't wipe properly.

Reading through the article, it seems that the rings are everchanging due to the pounding Uranus takes. Since it doesn't have any atmostphere any wayward asteroid can easily strike Uranus and kick up debris.
