On March 13, 1781, an English astronomer named William Herschel discovered the planet. More observations and calculations by Herschel and others confirmed that it was indeed a planet. Since it was the first new planet found, Herschel had the honour of naming it, so, Herschel's Planet became Georgium Sidus (George's Star) after King George III of England.
