Here’s one (rare!) family friendly reference on Uranus:
Composer Gustav Holst Opus 32 -6 Uranus: The Magician!
Uranus is named for an ancient Greek sky god called Ouranos.
The Romans called it Caelus, also known as a sky god.
To: Red Badger
In visible light, Uranus is bland in color, like a cue ball. You might call it boring, but there's a certain beauty even in that.
To: Red Badger
By the way, an interesting fact is that all the moons of Uranus are named after characters in Shakespearean plays.

I’m not a big fan of how they always play around with the light on these, converting non-visible light spectrums to visible light for the pictures. It’s misleading IMO. Gives someone the impression that is how it would look to their eyes if they were closer.
We should be especially careful about when showing Uranus. We don’t want people eventually being disappointed when they realize Uranus is fairly dark and cold.

Uranus is much cleaner-looking than I expected.

What I would like to see someday is a Cassini-type space probe travel to Uranus on a similar mission. The rings would be spectacular, no doubt.

Pesky Klingons circling Uranus. Every school kid knows that.

I truly hate enhanced pictures. it’s honestly no better than fake news... Subtle and basic enhancments I know are necessary but these clowns are just like the fake news media and have to out do each other at the cost of reality.
There is absolutely no way those rings are as bright or brighter than the damned planet. It would be sooooooooo much better if they dropped the Opacity of the ring enhancement to
15 or 20% of what it is in these pics... down right silly...
