    In 1977 I entered in the fifth grade. The teacher had students break into self-formed teams to do reports on all the planets. Team Mercury, Team Venus and so on. I didn't want to be on any teams, and fortunately for me absolutely nobody wanted Uranus. I took it, and found out how little information was available about the planet. In frustration I wrote a letter to NASA to ask what they knew about Uranus. Somebody from NASA somehow got that letter and phoned and told me about how Uranus was the first planet we discovered with telescopes, the then recent discovery of the rings, the extreme tilt, the Voyager mission, and other stuff that was a fifth-grader's gold mine for a report. He also had someone from the Orlando Science Center, which I think was the (astronaut) John Young Museum and Planetarium at the time, meet with and give me a bunch of stuff. I was the only kid who had props for his planetary report. Since then Uranus has been my favorite planet. Well, besides Earth.

      @@joshuafrias2415 I have few happy childhood memories, but that's one. There's some 1970s NASA mailroom employee who saw a child's letter and sent it to just the right person who'd actually care. Then that second NASA employee took the time to call a child, and to hook me up with a contact at the Orlando Science Center for more help. Then someone at the Orlando Science Center gathered things to give a child for my school report. When I think about what those people did for a child they'd never before met, I'm blown away.

    You ladies and gentleman did a good job on this one. If you would have done a 10-11 minute video on Uranus I would have skipped it. But I saw the runtime on this and thought "25 minutes is a long time to talk about a planet we know almost nothing about. He is going to talk about something I don't already know." And you guys did.

    You sort of glossed over the discovery of Neptune. I know this video is about Uranus, but it was Uranus that led to the discovery of Neptune. Astronomers noticed that Uranus' orbit was more wobbly than it should be and postulated that there must be another planet tugging on it. Intense calculations predicted where and when to look, and it was exactly where it was expected. Neptune remains the only planet discovered on paper, an incredible achievement in a pre-computer/calculator world.

      It would have to be a really long probe so it can go deep into Uranus. Of course you'd want all the survey stuff in the front so it would have to be bigger than the rest of it with a 360 degree field of view while seeing in front and behind at the same time, so probably a mushroom shape front would be in order to achieve that.

    Fun fact, Uranus currently only has one prograde irregular moon called Margaret. And Margaret is arguably the most inclined natural satellite at 57 degree in prograde direction (or about 123 degree in retrograde) and has one of the most eccentric orbit among the moons in the solar system. In 2010, Margaret's orbit eccentricity is at around 0.8 (similar orbital eccentricity to Sedna), making it the most eccentric orbit in the solar system, although Nereid's mean eccentricity is greater.

    Google informs me the diameter of Uranus is 31,518 miles. That's huge. I was surprised to learn Uranus has rings, as does Neptune. I have seen some good discussion on why Uranus is colder than Neptune, even though it is closer to the sun. It's because Neptune swallowed the planet Triton was originally orbiting. Triton still orbits that rocky planet, though now it is the core of Neptune. This explains why Triton orbits retrograde AND why Neptune has a hot interior. heat leftover from the collision. Nice reporting. All good wishes.
