Here's a photo I took last night:
EXT70AT, DSI IIC
Uranus (
/ˈjʊərənəs/ (help·info) or
/jʊˈreɪnəs/ (help·info)[12]) is the seventh
planet from the
Sun and the third-largest and fourth most massive planet in the
Solar System. It is named after the ancient Greek deity of the sky (
Uranus,
Οὐρανός), the father of
Kronos (
Saturn) and grandfather of
Zeus (
Jupiter). Though it is visible to the naked eye like the five
classical planets, it was never recognized as a planet by ancient observers because of its dimness and slow orbit.
[13] Sir
William Herschel announced its discovery on March 13, 1781, expanding the known boundaries of the
solar system for the first time in modern history. This was also the first discovery of a planet made using a
telescope. (from Wikipedia)
