NASA Wants To Probe Deeper Into Uranus Than Ever Before
Up until now, NASA has never paid too much attention to Uranus – but now the space agency wants to take a good, long look. And one of the things it might be investigating is all that gas. A NASA group outlined four possible missions to the ice giants Uranus and Neptune.
These missions include three orbiters and a possible fly-by of Uranus. The planned probes would take off in the 2030s, New Scientist reports.
[...] One of the proposed missions includes a fly-by of Uranus, which would include a narrow-angle camera – and a probe which would drop into Uranus's atmosphere to measure gas and heavy elements. There are four proposed missions. Three orbiters and a fly-by of Uranus, which would include a narrow angle camera to draw out details, especially of the ice giant's moons. It would also drop an atmospheric probe to take a dive into Uranus's atmosphere to measure the levels of gas and heavy elements there.

Scientists are sick of that joke so they've changed the name.
It's now called Urectum.

They should probe Neptune instead just to avoid the jokes. It's almost the same as Uranus.

Soylent News, the place where old jokes of 9 y.o.s go to die. Then they are raised as zombies by local population.

I heard that the probes would deploy very, very fine metal flakes to study atmospheric dispersion. It should be quite the golden shower.
