'''Uranus''' is the seventh planet in the Solar System. Uranus was discovered by the English astronomer [[William Herschel]] in 1781. It was originally named "Georgium Sidis," or "George's Planet," in honor of King George III of England. The name was later changed and named after the ancient Greek god of the heavens who was the father of [[Saturn]] (Chronos) and grandfather of [[Jupiter]] (Zeus). Uranus has twenty one moons, 5 of which are large enough to determine their existance from earth. The moons include Miranda, Circe, Puck, Baltar, Spungo, and Tybalt. Most of the moons of Uranus have names drawn from the works of [[William Shakespeare|Shakespeare]].
