Uranus, the first planet discovered in modern times, was discovered by William Herschel while systematically searching the sky with his telescope on March 13, 1781. It had actually been seen many times before but ignored as simply another star (the earliest recorded sighting was in 1690 when John Flamsteed cataloged it as 34 Tauri). Herschel named it "the Georgium Sidus" (the Georgian Planet) in honor of his patron, the infamous (to Americans) King George III of England; others called it "Herschel". The name "Uranus" was first proposed by Bode in conformity with the other planetary names from classical mythology but didn't come into common use until 1850. \n\nGo to the site below.  It has all kinds of info, even on all of the moons.  I hope this helps :)

They're trying to see if Uranus has a moon.

well, maybe not a huge ice block, but certainly an ice sphere.  Pluto (although not new, and I believe has recently been stripped of its planet status) is basically pure ice as far as we know, with possibly a small rocky core.  The further you get from the sun the more icy the planets will be and the closer you get the more rocky, you'll find more gaseous planets in the middle.  If you want to name 10 new planets around our solar system, then you can probably go to the nasa website or space.com and research the many pluto-style "planets" that have been found beyond our 8 planets, one of the largest thus far is at least temporarily dubbed xena, but there are many others like it that have been discovered.  If you want to know how our solar systems planets were named, again the nasa website is great or just type in the planets name on google and it will give you a lot of information.  Good luck to you and have fun!

of course it's G, Uranus that wallows around the sun on it's side. Earth is 23.5.

With this information contained...no wonder not anyone really has a handle on the exact definition of a planet.  It will be debated for a long time.\n\n# (astronomy) any of the nine large celestial bodies in the solar system that revolve around the sun and shine by reflected light; Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto in order of their proximity to the sun; viewed from the constellation Hercules, all the planets rotate around the sun in a counterclockwise direction\n# satellite: a person who follows or serves another\n# any celestial body (other than comets or satellites) that revolves around a star\nwordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn\n\n# A planet (from the Greek πλανήτης, planētēs which means "wanderer" or more forcefully "vagrant, tramp") is an object in orbit around a star that is not a star in its own right.

Wow, just asked my 10year old same question.  He said it is a planet they have recently discovered about twice the distance of Pluto.

Lets see how nifty each planet is!!!  xD\n\nMercury:  It has extremly hot days and extremly cold nights!!  Everyday while the sun is shining you could go swimming!  Or stuff like that!  But you couldn't plant a garden.  =(  But you COULD grill hambergers without spending a billion and two bucks with a grill.  You wouldn't have to use the microwave in order to make hot coco  At night it's cold, you could make a dirt snowman. o.0 there is no snow on Mercury.  Or you would watch your bugers freeze and you could keep your icecream all nice and cold! ^_^\n\nVenus:  Extremly acidic weather, pretty nifty! Robots disinagrate in it's weather in 2 hours.  Pretty dang nifty if you ask me!  Enough has been told!!!  ♥ Venus\nEarth:  Our home planet, pretty senery, accual trees and lakes here!\n\nMars:  Has 3 mile high mountain, Mount Olympus!!! ((is that what it's called?)) *drools*  Scale it!  Live it!  Rock climbing!  Repelling!  falling off of it!!!  *ohh that's fun*  It has burly a land scape, but who cares?  With a VERY tall mountain!  ^_^\n\nJupiter:  Biggist hurricane in the solar system, a lot of moons, each comes with a different theme!  *Europa would be cool*  Is the biggest planet in the solar system!!!\n  \nSaturn:  Nifty rings!!  Can float in water!  Is the lightest planet EVER and a really big one also!  Almost as big as Jupiter!  Has a really cool color!  The rings would be so awsome to invent sports on!  To make colonies there, to put theme parks there!  Ohh heaven!\n\nNeptune:  Pretty blue planet, freakish weather with the Scooter going around it every once in a while!  Pretty big with nifty moons!  Very calming to look at, and day and night you could see the stars!!!\n\nUranus:  It's axis are totaly messed up!  Insted of horozontal they're virtical!  It would be so cool to see the sun!  Has a greenish color, its atmosphere has a lot of ammonia so you don't really need to go buy the Pine Sol in order to clean your bathroom!  Very nice color, very nice moons, and you can see the crystal clear sky with the stars glistening, and the ring around it!\n\nPluto:  Cold!  Ice!  2-3 miles round!!  Small small SMALL!!!  It's moon is 2/3 the size of it, scientists wonder if it should even be called a planet, or at least both of them planets!  Pretty nifty\nSedna:  Don't know about it!\nPlanet X:  Does it RLLY exist???\n\nIndesisive!!!  Love Saturn's rings, love Mars and Neptune.  I would go with either Uranus or Mars.  ^_^

Uranus was the first planet to be discovered that was not known in ancient times; although it had been observed on many previous occasions, it was always mistakenly identified as a star. The earliest recorded sighting was in 1690 when John Flamsteed catalogued it as 34 Tauri. Flamsteed observed Uranus twice again. Sir William Herschel formally discovered the planet on March 13, 1781, but reported it on April 26, 1781, as a "comet."\n\nHerschel originally named it Georgium Sidus (George's Star) in honour of King George III of Great Britain. When it was pointed out that sidus means star and not planet, he rebaptised it the Georgian Planet. This name was not acceptable outside of Britain. Lalande proposed in 1784 to name it Herschel, at the same time that he created the planet's symbol ("a globe surmounted by your initial"); his proposal was readily adopted by French astronomers. Prosperin, of Uppsala, proposed the names Astraea, Cybele, and Neptune (now borne by two asteroids and a planet). Lexell, of St. Petersburg, compromised with George III's Neptune and Great-Britain's Neptune. Bernoulli, from Berlin, suggested Hypercronius and Transaturnis. Lichtenberg, from Göttingen, chimed in with Austräa, a goddess mentioned by Ovid (but who is traditionally associated with Virgo). The name Minerva was also proposed. Finally, Bode, as editor of the Berliner Astronomisches Jahrbuch, opted for Uranus, after Latinized version of the Greek god of the sky, Ouranos; Maximilian Hell followed suit by using it in the first ephemeris, published in Vienna. Examination of earliest issues of Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society from 1827 shows that the name Uranus was already the most common name used even by British astronomers by then, and probably earlier. The name Georgium Sidus or "the Georgian" were still used infrequently (by the British alone) thereafter. The final holdout was HM Nautical Almanac Office, which did not switch to Uranus until 1850.\n\nIn the Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese languages, the planet's name is literally translated as the sky king star (天王星).\n\nHope that's not too long for you!!\n\nP.S. I don't believe your claim that a professor wants a paper on a Saturday. I think you're curious, and impatient, and wanted to know sooner rather than later. It's OK to be curious as long as you own up to it. I'm not saying I'm sure you were lying, but I've got a hunch. Just don't be self-conscious about wanting information.
