With the two moons thought of being very close to Uranus what are the possibilities of the two moons crashing into Uranus and what would happen to the moons as well as Uranus?

One good thing that might happen is if the moons crash into in Uranus and collide with the solid outer surface of Uranus we could the birth of a new planet.

But how would such a collision affect life on Earth?

Do you even read the articles you link to?

I'd probably just keep going to work every day.

No.

what are the possibilities of the two moons crashing into Uranus

None.

and what would happen to the moons as well as Uranus?

They'd be destroyed, and nothing of consequence, in that order

One good thing that might happen is if the moons crash into in Uranus and collide with the solid outer surface of Uranus

Uranus doesn't have a solid outer surface. It has a gaseous outer surface, and the moons would be destroyed by friction before they got anywhere near a solid point.

we could the birth of a new planet.

Fuck, no.

But how would such a collision affect life on Earth?

It wouldn't.
Stop. Just stop.

Alright, let's get through this.

With the two moons thought of being very close to Uranus what are the possibilities of the two moons crashing into Uranus and what would happen to the moons as well as Uranus?

Not likely at all.

One good thing that might happen is if the moons crash into in Uranus and collide with the solid outer surface of Uranus we could the birth of a new planet.

Solid outer surface.... You know that Uranus is a gas giant, right? Not to mention the fact that these moons are TINY, probably <3 miles across.

But how would such a collision affect life on Earth?

Considering it's not going to happen, it won't. Even if the moons did crash, it wouldn't affect life here at all.

Do you even read the articles you link to?

Apparently not.

^ These days Uranus and Neptune are termed "ice giants" rather than "gas giants" as their composition is only about 20% hydrogen and helium by mass but your argument holds.

 

[PurpleBuddha]

I learned today that the gravity at the gaseous surface of Uranus is actually only about 90 percent Earth's gravity. How neat is that?

 

[Asbo Zaprudder]

Lower average density so the increased radius offsets the greater mass. Earth is the densest planet in the Solar System -- denser than Mercury even.

 

[PurpleBuddha]

And that's why we can stand on it. That's pretty neat.

If we could build a force-field of anti-light around Uranus using the energy from a Dryson collector the we could build a colony on the surface. I bet anti-light also explains the dimming of KIC 8.

It'll be difficult to get used to those days and nights though.

Ice Giant.

Apparently, Uranus can raise threads from the dead.

Not my anus.

What was size 6?

 

[StarCruiser]

Are there still Klingons around Uranus?

Nope - I've already had an optorectomy which is surgery to cut the connection between your anus and your optic nerve to cure your shitty outlook on life.

I support Microsoft Office as part of my job, so I don't if anything can ever free me from dealing with shitty Outlook.

My wife works ER sometimes, and I've heard about people getting some pretty strange things in their anus. Not moons, though - I'll have to ask her about that.
