On This Day in Space History: Discovering Uranus ?? 240 years ago, on March 13, 1781, astronomer William Herschel gazed through his homemade telescope and discovered Uranus—the seventh planet from the Sun! ?? This groundbreaking revelation expanded our understanding of the cosmos and marked a monumental milestone in astronomical history. Did you know? Herschel initially thought Uranus was a comet or a star! It was only after thorough observation that he realized it was a new planet. Talk about a cosmic twist! Let's celebrate the curious minds and pioneering spirits that continue to explore the universe and uncover its secrets! ?? Tag your fellow space enthusiasts and share your favorite space discovery moment!
