So pretty much between Saturn and Uranus.... Even as an adult that still always makes me chuckle. I can't help it.
It’s pronounced your-uh-ness by pretty much everyone (or your-ah-noose if your going by the greek god and not the Latin copy/paste.)

in Arabic (and a bunch of other languages I'm sure) it's pronounced: Oranos, I don't understand why the U in Uranus is not pronounced like the U in Ultra.

Let's send some boosters out there, redirect it to earth, and make a second moon. Come on people, what ever happened to doing shit cause its fuckin' rad, do you know how cool another moon would be?!
Constructive interference from multiple tidal waves could flood huge coastal areas, killing or displacing millions. Uncool.

I say we catch that sucker, tow it into our neck of the woods as a second moon, and use it as a space port. Are there a million problems with this proposal? Yes. But would it be totally rad to do this? Also yes.
For reference 1 AU (Astronomical Unit) is about 150 million km. Saturn ranges from being about 7 to 11 AU away from Earth. Voyager 1 is 152 AU away. This object is excitingly close and will be fun to study.

But why? Don't we already have a moon?

That's terrifying, no? A whole planet (yes a dwarf one, but still a PLANET) is just rogue and will wander through the orbit of Sol as it pleases.
So a bit less dramatic but still really cool.
