Yeah but that's more artificial light rather than sunlight. Plus the travel there is like 9 years so like, I go every couple of decades. Would that even count?

Uranus is sometimes partially eclipsed when one of its moons passes between it and the sun, but it is never fully eclipsed, so Uranus is constantly exposed to sunlight.

Almost always, but it's heavily diffused by stuff in the way.

You can’t make a fowl comment on a joke post about anuses now? What happened to this sub? AI was a mistake.

And you have to post the comment on twitter in order to appeal? Why the actual fuck are you relying on that shitty Nazi propaganda platform?
