What does the Starship Enterprise and toilet paper have in common?

They both circle Uranus looking for Klingons.

.......

Seriously, that's an interesting photo of Uranus, as it's usually recorded as a plain, cold blue ball.

Any idea what telescope or satellite recorded it? I couldn't find that post on X.

Thanks for posting.......

As someone pointed out above, it was a fake image anyway. But it's always fun to joke about the anatomy. I mean astronomy!
