British-German astronomer #WilliamHerschel discovered the seventh planet, #Uranus, on #ThisDayInHistory in 1781. A unique world that spins on its side with a 98-degree axial tilt, its pale cyan colour comes from a frigid atmosphere made up mainly of hydrogen, helium, & methane.
"Coelorum perrupit claustra: He broke through the barriers of the skies." (Herschel's epitaph).

The first 9 (of 13) #RingsOfUranus were definitively found on #ThisDayInHistory in 1977. All the gas giants have them, though #Saturn's were seen much earlier. The first claimed sighting of any at #Uranus was by #WilliamHerschel in 1789, but it is doubted he could have seen them.

Uranus
#WilliamHerschel discovered Uranus #OnThisDay in 1781 & wanted to name the seventh planet from the sun 'Georgium Sidus' for George III but German astronomer Johann Bode proposed to name it for the Greek sky god instead; as I like to say, it's all about #Uranus~!
