When Sir William Herschel saw the planet on March 13 1781 years considered it a comet, and his discovery announced April 26, 1781: Account of a Comet, By Mr.. Herschel, FRS; Communicated by Dr.. Watson, Jun. of Bath, FRS, Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London, Volume 71, pp. 492-501. Herschel originally named object Georgium Sidus (George's Star), based on the considerations on the part of the English king George III. When it became clear that the object is a planet, Herschel changed its name to Georgian Planet. Although the name could not be accepted anywhere outside the United Britain, the idea of \u200b\u200bHerschel unexpectedly resulted in receiving a lifetime pension from the treasury of the Crown.
In 1784, Jérôme Lalande proposed that a planet called Herschel, has also created its symbol. His proposal was adopted by French astronomers. Erik Prosperin from Uppsala suggested names Astraea, Cybele, and Neptune (and later assigned them to two Asteroids and eighth planet). Anders Lexell St. St. Petersburg has fluctuated between Neptune and Neptune George II of Great Britain. Daniel Bernoulli proposed the name of Berlin Hypercronius and Transaturnis, Georg Lichtenberg in Göttingen, preferred the name Austräa. Also been proposed the name of Minerva. Finally
Johann Bode, the editor of the German Berliner Astronomisches Jahrbuch vintage, supported the name Uranus (Uranus) - from the Greek god Uranus, the son of Gaia. Maximilian Hell appreciated that name, using it in the first, issued in Vienna, ephemerides.
first models Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society from 1827 show that the name Uranus (Uranus) was already widely accepted term, even among the British, and used the name Georgium Sidus few Englishmen. The last point of resistance was HM Nautical Almanac Office, which has adopted the name "Uranus" only in 1850 year.
