betzine: apocalypsesunshine: sci-fact: Uranus has 27 known moons, all of which are named after characters from the works of William Shakespeare and Alexander Pope, a unique departure from the traditional Greek and Roman mythological sources. The first four moons were named at the same time by John Herschel in 1852. It began with the fairies Oberon and Titania from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and the sylphs Ariel and Umbriel from Pope’s The Rape of the Lock. The idea being that Uranus, as the god of sky, would be attended by spirits of the air. When more moons were discovered (many decades later), the other works of Shakespeare became the primary source. Among them, we have the moons bearing the famous names of characters like Ophelia, Portia, Puck, Rosalind, Miranda, and Juliet. 14 separate literary works are represented in total. for those of you who were unaware Uranus is best planet New plan.  When I die, I want to be put into a rocket and sent into orbit around Uranus.
