On this day in 1787, the astronomer William Herschel discovered the moons Titania and Oberon, both of them orbiting Uranus. He later reported four more unrelated satellites, but they are not the topic of this megathread. Herschel was also the person who discovered Uranus itself.
Titania:
Titania , sometimes also designated Uranus III, is Uranus’ largest moon, and the 8th largest overall in the solar system. It is named after the queen of the fairies in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, and its orbit lies inside Uranus's magnetosphere. Titania has been studied up close only once, by the spacecraft Voyager 2 in January 1986.
Oberon
Oberon, which is sometimes, like Titania, given an alternate designation, this time Uranus IV, is the outermost major moon of the planet Uranus. It is the second-largest and second most massive of Uranus’ moons, and the ninth largest overall. Oberon is named after the mythical king of the fairies who appears as a character in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Unlike Titania, its orbit lies partially outside Uranus's magnetosphere.
Uranus’ system of moons has been studied up close only once: the spacecraft Voyager 2 took several images of Oberon in January 1986, allowing 40% of the moon's surface to be mapped.

I think the most sus thing about Robert Evans is not that he has trained/worked with feds when he was in Syria, but the fact that he makes $400,000+ USD a year podcasting
also, the fact that the ICE Must Be Abolished guy just all of a sudden magically wound up on the same podcasts out of nowhere and just peddles discount anarchism with state dept. talking points
edit: also that he just decided to turn Garrison Davis into his protege, there is something sus about a 17 (dude's probably like 19 now) year old hanging out with the nearly 40 year old Robert Evans almost everyday
...
Mentoring is a thing. Just because a teenager is in the presence of an adult doesn't mean there's pederasty is a thing. Do you have anything to suggest this is sus beyond that the kid is 17?
I'm not really implying that he's literally fucking the kid, but if he indeed is a fed then there is something really disturbing to me about a fed basically grabbing this random dude off the streets and turning him into the mini fed
Just when I was thinking it's time to check him out again I see another tidbit about why I stopped in the first place.
