INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Uranus was the very first world found with the aid of a telescope
It was discovered on March 13, 1781, by astronomer William Herschel, although he initially believed it was either a comet or a star
Herschel tried unsuccessfully to call his discovery Georgium Sidus after King George III
Rather, the planet was named for Uranus, the Greek god of the sky, as recommended by astronomer Johann Bode.Image Credit:
