mysterious light spotted on planet uranus

SBH, We all know Uranus is a distant gas giant.

Sorry, I'm not going to spread the cheeky for your tongue in cheek.

Thank you SBH, I appreciate that.
I think the flash of light is directly related to ignited gas from Uranus.

It's my understanding that neither the sun nor the moon shines in Uranus either. That's why it's dark.

Uranus is often seen as a cold and desolate place, but in fact it is extremely volatile and alive.

But I thought Uranus was right next to the moon.

Aloha Opihikao, please join us in this intellectual conversation on astronomy.

Aloha, SBH, thanks, but I'm sittin' this one out. Waaay over my head! Over the moon, even.

Just staying in my corner eatin' my Mars bar, waiting for the next event...explosion...landing...whatever.

JMO.

P.S. Levity is good. Mahalo.

A 2.2 micron wavelength emission simply demonstrates Uranus to be a brown dwarf.
Imagine that, the Menehune are actually hiding here amongst us.
