Cardsmiths Space – Galactic Edition – Uranus #53 – Emerald 23/99

Description:
Seventh planet from the Sun, Uranus has been visible since prehistory, its blue-green glow often mistaken for a star. In fact, even when William Herschel first observed it with a telescope in 1781, he thought it might be a comet. Over time, astronomers confirmed Uranus as a true planet, making it the first discovered with a telescope.

Quote (Back of Card):
“Seventh planet from the sun, humans have seen the blue-green light of Uranus since prehistory. In fact, it was even thought to be a star. Even William Herschel, who with a telescope in 1781 first saw that it was not a star, instead believed it to be a comet.”
