On this day in 1787 William Herschel discovered Titania and Oberon, two moons of Uranus. Herschel also discovered Uranus with his telescope and called it George, which he thought was a very sensible and apt name for a planet. Astronomers in other countries, however, did not share his enthusiasm, not least because the planet had been named after the British king and a lot of countries did not quite share Herschel’s enthusiasm, and soon the name Uranus was suggested. Apparently to ‘Johnny Foreigner’ naming a planet something that can be very easily mispronounced to sound rude is preferable to something named after George III; astronomers were indeed accomplished satirists, it would seem.
