Uranus

Overview
Uranus is the 7th planet from the sun and the 3rd largest planet.

Discovery
Uranus was discovered in the 1700s by William Herschel. It was the first ever planet to be discovered by a telescope.

History
Uranus is a strange planet. Instead of being tilted like all of the other planets are, it is tilted on it's side. It is a mystery. It could be because something crashed into the planet. But if it was something that crashed into that planet, it could have been huge. Since Uranus is tilted on it's side, it's rings are kind of too.

History behind the discovery
Since it was the first planet to be discovered by a telescope, Herschel thought it was a comet. But it was in a strange orbit. He realized it wasn't a comet, it was a planet.
