Uranus

=__ Uranus was the first planet to be discoverd through a telescope. __= __  WILLIAM HERSCHEL THE FOUNDER OF URANUS  __  when william Herschel was looking trough a telescope he noticed some thing in the distance. he described it as a "nebulous star or even a comet". But when he found it was a planet, he desided to name the planet after a greek god of the sky , Uranus. This was around the date of 1781. Soon after the new planet was descovered herchel figered out that Uranus is the seventh planet from the sun and is the farthest planet that you can see with a telescope from earth. __  URANUS AND IT"S RINGS   __ Uranus has 11 dust rings around it that has rockes in obet with it. Also having rings with lanes around it It is also a sideways planet. It is mostly gas and licyed, the atmosphere is very thin and is 85% Hydrogen,12% Helium, and 3% Methane. 1,784 million miles from the sun.       Uranus is about 2,872,460,000kelometers from the Sun. Uranus also has a current count of 27 moons.Having 5 mager moons surrounding it. They are calledmiranda,ariel,umbriel,titania,and oberon miranda,ariel,umbriel,titania,and oberon. Uranus has a belt of 11 faint, narrow rings composed of rock and dust. They circle Uranus is very elliptical orbits. These rings are only a fraction of the size of Saturn's rings, and were only discovered in 1977.  __A idea for the story__: Far away in space William Herschel was looking through a telescope and discovered a new planet! Uranus! But after what he had found he thought it wa"either nubulus star or perhapes a comet." But since he found the planet he thought he could name it since he found it. He was thinking of naming it after a english king but after awhile he decided to name it after a greek god in the sky. Uranus. Uranus is the seventh planet from the sun. It's 2,870,972,200 km away from the sin. Uranus has 11 rings around it. There is 27 moons surrounding it. Uranus has only been visited by one spacecraft, [|Voyager 2]. More recently, it has been observed by the [|Hubble Space Telescope] and the Adaptive Optics-equipped Keck II telescope. No future missions are currently planned to visit Uranus. Uranus is tilted so far on its side that its axis lies nearly level with its path around the sun. Scientists measure the tilt of a planet relative to a line at a right angle to the orbital plane, an imaginary surface touching all points of the orbit. It is mostly gas and licyed, the atmosphere is very thin and is 85% Hydrogen,12% Helium, and 3% Methane.
