The people who found Uranus was a boy named William an a girl named Caroline. When they were studying comets with a telescope they so something blue, that was Uranus!!! They were excited and studied it for months, after a while they saw that it was rotating, which only planets do. Guess what happens when you find a planet? You get to name it. At first a person Herschel wanted to name Uranus after King George the third. Not everyone likes King George so they wanted him to name it after himself "Planet Herschel. " In the end they decided to keep the tradition and name it after a Roman god, Uranus.
