Uranus was the name of the Greek and Roman god in of the sky. That name was the one chosen for the new planet. After the name was chosen people all around started exploring the night sky as Herschel did. Herschel continued to make telescopes to explore not only the planet he found, but some other planets and stars too. Unlike Earth, Uranus is 60 degrees off its axis.
Scientists predict that Uranus was hit by a comet and knocked over.
They think that this must have happend long ago, if it did happen. So, as you can see, If it wasn't for William Herschel hadn't been looking through his telescope that night, we might not have out seventh planet. Or maybe we would. What do you think.
