The new name will be Urecktum.
The proper pronunciation of Uranus is YOU ruh nus, not your Ay nus.

Hanging out with family this afternoon, my wife and my niece were discussing astronomy and one of them made a remark about Mercury in retrograde. I quickly shot back "How do you know Mercury is not in Uranus?"

Thank you SIGforum for helping me through the holidays!!

I have enjoyed seeing the planets the last couple of evenings. Clouds/rain are moving back in overnight. I received the 4.5" Jupiter from Mova Globes as a Christmas Gift - pretty entertaining.
