URANUS has been the butt of many a schoolkid's joke during science class, thanks to its rather "quirky" yet misunderstood name, more or less since its discovery in 1781 by William Herschel.

He actually wanted to call his newly discovered ice giant George, after the then King of England, George III, but settled on calling it Uranus after the Greek deity of the sky.
