Today the #Moon 🌖 is in #Virgo ♍, bringing...
an invitation to get hands-on 🙌🏽
and see where improvement is needed. 🛠️
With 5 planets in #Aquarius and
#Uranus stationing direct, 👀
It's a great time to welcome:
✨ new ideas 💡
✨ expanded possibilities 💫
✨ greater clarity 💖
and get to work 👷🏽♀️

🪷 #Uranus now ends 5 months Retrograde phase so 2026 debuts a bit less rocky than the 2nd half of 2025. You can expect only the "usual chaos" in your life, and not the shocking chaos that has occurred since 12 Sept, when #RetrogradeUranus began.

On January 25, 1986, Tom Bolton of the University of Toronto and Ian McGregor of the McLaughlin #Planetarium joined host Randy Attwood for a LIVE 2 hour program about #Voyager2 at #Uranus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTEim9mSiWY and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OOh8e-KTOU
📚 Voyager 2 passierte vor 40 Jahren den Uranus.
• Erster Planet, der nicht in der Antike bekannt war.
• Voyager 2 lieferte Bilder von Uranus und seinen Monden.
• Besuch der Raumsonde vor 40 Jahren.

Today the #ScorpioMoon ♏🌘 forms
an opposition to #Uranus ⚡
in which new information
may come to the surface. 💡
The #Moon in a cradle with Venus,
Pluto, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus 💫
brings the hope of the future 🌱
even as we must leave behind
the certainty of the past. 🌬️

Unter extremer Hitze und Druck erzeugen Forscher superionisches Wasser à la Uranus und Neptun. In den Eisriesen leitet es Strom und formt Magnetfelder

The #German-#British astronomer #WilliamHerschel first observed, on #ThisDayInHistory in 1787, the #Uranus moons #Titania and #Oberon.
I first learnt of Herschel as a young boy from seeing him on the #NewDeal-funded Astronomers Monument up at #GriffithObservatory in Los Angeles.

Sind #Uranus & #Neptun wirklich Eisriesen? Neue Analysen der Voyager-2-Daten deuten darauf hin, dass die beiden äußeren #Planeten deutlich mehr #Gestein enthalten könnten als bisher angenommen – womöglich sind es sogar Gesteinsriesen. Eine neue Mission könnte endlich Klarheit bringen: @spacerick https://www.riffreporter.de/de/wissen/uranus-neptun-gesteinsriesen-planetenforschung-sonnensystem
The Solar System - Outer Planets, Gas Giants
And then into the darkness of space. That's where the gas giants live. These are four more planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Jupiter and Saturn are composed of hydrogen and helium. Neptune and Uranus, however, are made of ice. These two planets, Neptune and Uranus, are also considered ice giants.

The Best of FYFD 2025
Happy 2026! This will be a big year for me. I’ll be finishing up and turning in the manuscript for my first book — which flows between cutting edge research, scientists’ stories, and the societal impacts of fluid physics. It’s a culmination of 15 years of FYFD, rendered into narrative. I’m so excited to share it with you when it’s published in 2027.
As always, though, we’ll kick off the year with a look back at some of FYFD’s most popular posts of 2025. (You can find previous editions, too, for 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, and 2014.) Without further ado, here they are:
What a great bunch of topics! I’m especially happy to see so many research and research-adjacent posts were popular. And a couple of history-related posts; I don’t write those too often, but I love them for showing just how wide-ranging fluid physics can be.
Interested in keeping up with FYFD in 2026? There are lots of ways to follow along so that you don’t miss a post.
And if you enjoy FYFD, please remember that it’s a reader-supported website. I don’t run ads, and it’s been years since my last sponsored post. You can help support the site by becoming a patron, buying some merch, or simply by sharing on social media. And if you find yourself struggling to remember to check the website, remember you can get FYFD in your inbox every two weeks with our newsletter. Happy New Year!

Pour le réveillon de ce soir il y aura une petite #conjonction entre la #Lune et les #Pléiades qui est un amas d'étoiles. Normalement visible sans instrument l'usage de jumelles sera recommandé. Pour la France métropolitaine il faudra observer des que le ciel sera sombre. Les Pléiades seront à droite et un peu en haut de la Lune. Pas loin se trouve aussi la planète #Uranus visible au télescope ou en photo longue pose.
