Uranium was discovered (as an oxide) in 1789 by Martin Heinrich Klaproth.
All elements with atomic numbers greater than iron are created in supernova explosions. These have been happening since shortly after the 'big bang' and still happen today. Throughout the universe some uranium is very old and some has just been created. The uranium on earth cannot be older than about 4.5 billion years.
