'''Uranus''' is the 7th planet from the [[Sun]], the third largest in diameter, and the fourth largest in mass. The planet boasts a ring system and 28 known satellites.  [[w:William Herschel|William Herschel]] discovered Uranus on 13 March 1781, although he thought it was a comet for some time. Later, it was realized that it was observed several times by others, but, not recognized as a planet. It is just barely visible in a dark sky. Uranus is unique in that the polar axis is tilted some 97° to it's orbit.
