Seventh from the Sew
On March O 17SI William Herschel was making a routine
telescopic suises ol the skv when he made an important
discoserv At first, he thought the diskhke light he saw
was a comet, so he carefully Hacked its motion lor some
weeks It was not until several months later alter a prelum
nars orhil was calculated, that he realized he had discovered
a ness planet Ihe name lor this cosmic hodv occasioned
much discussion (And still does among children!) Hcrschcl
proposed Geoi>no« i/dm in honor ol England's George 111
Others suggested naming it alter Hcrschcl Finally, the tradi
tion ol naming planets alter gods ol Greek mythology was
upheld The newly found seventh planet was named alter the
father ol the litans and grandfather
ol Jupiter Uranus

that the toll he perfectly

bathroom decoi ’ Or that it
be absolutely while’ Both
dveing and bleaching
create toxic chcmi
