2. Uranus History
Uranus was discovered by William Herschel on March 13,1781 by searching in the sky with his telescope and he was observing Uranus.
The name “Uranus“ was first proposed by Bode. The astronomical symbol for Uranus is a circle with a dot at its center, with a pointing off the top.

3. Solar System Uranus is more than 19 times farther than the sun.
It is number 7 in the planet order.
It has a mean distance from the sun of 2.87 billion kilometers.
It rotates about its axis once every 17 hours and 14 minutes.

4. Moons
Uranus has 27 moons.
These are all of Uranus moons: Cordelia, Ophelia, Bianca, Cressida, Desdemona, Juliet, Portia, Rosalind, Mab, Belinda, Perdita, Puck, Cupid, Miranda, Francisco, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, Oberon, Caliban, Stephano, Trinculo, Sycorax, Margaret, Prospero, Setebos, and Ferdinand.

5. Planet appearance
Uranus is a blue and greenish color due to the methane in its atmosphere.
It has a very light ring system that is hardly seen, with only nine rings clearly seen.
Uranus has a dark spot that has been spotted with the Hubble telescope, suggesting that the atmosphere is more like Neptune.

6. Rings
The rings of Uranus were discovered on March 10,1977, by James L. Elliot, Edward W. Dunham, and Jessica Mink.
More than 200 years ago, in 1789, William Herschel also reported observing rings; some modern astronomers are skeptical that he could have actually seen them, as they are very dark and faint other are not.

7. Exploration
The exploration of Uranus has to date been solely through telescopes and NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft, which made its closest approach to Uranus on January 24,1986.

8. Interesting Facts Uranus is the seventh planet from the sun.
Its not visible to the naked eye, and became the first planet discovered with the use of a telescope.
Uranus is tipped over on its side with an axial tilt of 98 degrees.
It is often described as ‘ rolling around the Sun on its side.”
