I remember when I was in high school and they made a significant discovery about that planet. We got a lot of laughs from asking our physics teacher, “Sir, is it true that there are rings around Uranus?”
There are times I wish we had gone with Greek god names instead of Roman. Uranus is Ouranos in the Greek pantheon. The planets in our solar system would be Hermes, Aphrodite, Gaia, Ares, Zeus, Chronos, Ouranos, Poseidon and Hades. (Yes, I prefer 9 planets over 8. I know it’s a dwarf planet, but I hate leaving it out.)

Old joke… “What is another mission of Star Trek’s (TOS) Enterprise? Circling Uranus looking for Klingons…”

I’ve heard that they’ve stopped calling it Uranus, now they just call it Urectum.
