Well, after all it's summertime 
"Look, we've tried, but we just can't write this headline without saying boffins have probed Uranus's cold ring
Cluster of rock and ice a sweltering 77K, we're told
Astronomers have measured the temperature of one of Uranusās rings, dubbed Epsilon, for the first time. The result: the cluster of ice and rock is a nippy 77 kelvin.
Uranus, our Solar System's far-flung icy electric-blue-colored ball, is circled by 13 rings. They were only recently discovered, as early as 1977, due to their faintness. In 2017, fresh images of the mysterious planet were captured by the Atacama Large Millimeter Array and Very Large Telescope, both in Chile, that highlighted the thermal energy, or lack thereof, in its rings."
