Nasa shared the image followed by the message, "Go ahead, get it out of your system. We tried."

Elon Musk, SpaceX CEO, and Tech Wizard commented on the quirky joke, saying, "Good one."

In 1986, Voyager 2 captured one of the farthest planets in our solar system, Uranus.

The planet’s light rings were captured by the Voyager 2 spacecraft and Keck Observatory, in 2004, with adaptive optics, as NASA noted.

It also helped in discovering the planet’s 10 new moons.

Reportedly, Uranus may have five moons with "ocean worlds," which host life.

It takes 84 years for Uranus to orbit the Sun, but it also rotates on its side for up to half a year (42 years on Earth)
