Who made Uranus?

Answer 1

William Hershel named it Georgium Sidus (George's Star), or the "Georgian Planet" (after King George lll), in March 1781. This was not a popular name outside Great Britain and many other names were proposed and used.

The name Uranus was proposed by Johann Elert Bode, a German astronomer who had determined the orbit of the plant after Herschel demonstrated that it WAS a planet. Bode's suggestion became the most widely used, and became universal in 1850

Bode's rational was that, as Saturn was the father of Jupiter in ancient mythology, the new planet. which was further for the sun than Saturn should be named for the mythological father of Saturn, Uranus.
