The planet Uranus, the first planet to be discovered using technology other than the naked eye, was discovered on March 13th 1781 by the German born, music teaching, band leading, telescope constructing Frederick William Herschel and named after a conversation that he had with his wife Mary soon afterwards.
Frederick: ‘Mary! Mary! Come quick!’
Mary: ‘What is it Frederick?’
Frederick: ‘Quick Look!’
Mary peers through the newly constructed telescope.
Mary: ‘What is it that I am looking for, Frederick?’
Frederick: ‘Tis a new planet that I have just discovered.’
Mary: ‘A What?’
Frederick: ‘A new planet, never before been seen by anyone else but us two. This is going to make us famous Mary.’
Mary is unimpressed
Mary: ‘New planet My Arse!’
