This wider view of Uranus reveals the planet’s faint rings and several of its satellites.

The bright satellite on the lower right corner is Ariel, which has a snowy white surface. Five small satellites with dark surfaces can be seen just outside the rings. Clockwise from the top, they are: Desdemona, Belinda, Portia, Cressida, and Puck. Even fainter satellites were imaged in deeper exposures, also taken with the Advanced Camera in August 2003.

2020

Aries / Aries, this year will not only be fulfilling, but monumental. This past year tugged you around and showed you the ropes and transformed you, but this year will be the catalyst for what you wish to achieve. You will embark on many different journies and trails to become who you are and it will make you different in the end, but better.

Taurus / Taurus, although this year you may have felt lost and unsure of where to go next, you still made it and feeling proud of yourself for that is not a shameful thing. However, this year will bring a lot of closure for you in a lot of things that have made you feel lost and uncertain of who you are. You will be on a journey of self discovery this year, and a lot of your questions will be answered. You just have to be patient an enjoy the ride.

Gemini / Gemini, this past year might’ve been a roller coaster for you, with a lot of ups and maybe a lot more downs than anticipated. However, this year will be all about self love for you. Learning how to take care of yourself and trusting yourself to get through even the hardest of situations. It’s not an easy task to become your own best friend, but this year you will realize that you are the only one who is stuck with you for the rest of your life, and you will find peace in that.

Cancer / Cancer, this year threw a lot at you and you may have had more successes than you realize. This year, your main focus will be to acknowledge how far you have come and embrace where you are now. Sometimes you may get lost in a seeming failure or something you might’ve done wrong, but you have to stop yourself in your tracks when you do this. This year will show an abundance of strength for you, and you will learn how to manifest it.

Leo / Leo, this past year may have felt really long for you, maybe because there was a lot packed into it, or maybe because there wasn’t enough. But now, you’re running towards everything you want this year, full force. Nothing can stop you. You will learn the drive within you and how abundant it is, and just how much you can take. Sprinting towards your dreams and everything that you want, you will not let anyone or anything stop you this year. You’ve had enough pain, it’s time to let the light in.

Virgo / Virgo, I sense that there was a lot of change for you this year and it may have knocked you down a little. This year, you will learn to accept that change and see it as an opportunity. You see, the bad things that happen to us are sometimes blessings. Although things can be hard, that doesn’t mean nothing good comes out of it. You are going to see the light at the end of the tunnel this year and it’s going to give you hope again.

Libra / Libra, this past year may have been transformative for you. You may feel like a different person than you were at the start. This year, you’re going to push away things that aren’t meant for you. You’re going to accept love as pure and innocent, instead of toxic and degrading. You’re going to learn what is best for you and in your life. You’re only going to accept things that bring you joy.

Scorpio / Scorpio, your passion and drive is undeniable and can be seen by everyone. However, it’s just as important to know when to slow down and take time for yourself. This year you need to focus on not going so fast, taking time to smell the roses, and enjoy the moment. This may be hard for you, but it is an essential key for your happiness. You’re so used to working hard and making things happen, but everyone gets worn out from time to time.

Sagittarius / Sagittarius, you might’ve had some big wins and changes this past year. I want you to remember those and feel pride in yourself. This year, you’re going to look back and the past and work through things that you’ve been ignoring. This is important for your growth, to acknowledge these things. They’re not going to feel bad and toxic anymore, but part of who you are and you’re going to embrace that more than ever. It’s important to look back sometimes and work through new things.

Capricorn / Capricorn, this year may be a big one for you. Everything you work hard towards will finally have meaning and you may be offered big opportunities. This is your time, don’t belittle the things you have done and remember just how hard you have worked at becoming who you want to be. It’s easy to get lost in it, embrace it as it comes.

Aquarius / Aquarius, this past year might have been more stressful than previous years. But this year, there will be relief. There will be things that come out of the woodworks for you, and it will be up to you to accept them as they come. Do not be too scared or not confident enough in yourself to do them, you can do anything you put your mind to.

Pisces / Pisces, this year you will realize how much you can help. Maybe with people, in your community, or just in day to day life. You have a natural talent of generosity without expecting anything in return, and that is so special. This year will be rewarding for you to say the least, and you will realize how special you are and how much you are worth to this world. People like you are rare to find.
