:'(Ok its Sunday morning and I wish I was at Graves Mt. with all the lucky rock pups.
But being I am stuck at home I needed a rock fix so decided to check out some space rock news.
They have been talking about how Jupiter and Uranus are aligned in a way that hasent been seen since 1951. But the more I kept reading the funnier the little clips I was reading got. Maybe I just need another cup of coffee.
Like this...
The headline...
Hubble Reveals New Moons, Rings Around Uranus.
As the newfound moons and the 16 other known satellites jockey for position around Uranus.
One of the newly discovered moons of Uranus, was dubbed Cupid.
Uranus inhabits a region that's a "shooting gallery of comets,"
The particles can reaccumulate into a little moon.
"Tiny Cupid appears to be in the most tenuous position of all,"
"Sometime in the next million years or so, it's likely to bang into Belinda"—a significantly larger moon—"and that will be the end of Cupid."
So as I read it Cupid which is right close to Uranus is going to bump into Belinda in the future. Uranus will loose its cute little moon Cupid and the big ass moon Belinda will take over.
Sounds like a soap opera.

Stay tuned for the latest news from Uranus....
