    Six of the planets have a U in them. I’d never thought about that before. Seven if you count Pluto. That’s unUsual.

    They should change it’s name to end to this childish humor. Something like… Urectum! (Futurama paraphrase)

    It’s pronounced OO-Rah-Noos. Not your aynus. Well, unless you need to say that for some reason or other.

    Interesting that for Hammies’ age, he knows the correct name for that certain part of the body. For me at that age it was butt-hole.

    Dad should be saying, “It was the only way he could get past the seventh planet”, or “to the eighth”.

    1 Mercury, 2 Venus, 3 Earth, 4 Mars, 5 Jupiter, 7 Saturn. Uranus is the 7th planet out from the sun. Neptune is the 8th.

    They must have intended to write “get past the seventh planet” or “get TO the eighth planet”.

    Debatable whether he did get past it, based on the spacing.

    Back when I was teaching our 7th grade was tested on science, and they focused on astronomy. Each classroom had a planet painted up over their door. I had little sympathy for the teacher who taught in the 7th classroom. Instead of going with the flow and rolling with the punches she always made a fuss. She just made it worse, every year.

    When I was an undergrad I was an astronomy assistant and among other things had to run some public sessions. Pronouncing the name of the planet between Saturn and Neptune was always a problem, and produced questions I (as a teenager, aged 16-20)) had real trouble dealing with.Either of the two main contenders, all syllables about equal vs emphasis on “ran” with long “a”, provoked questions and titters.

    The brontosaurus has been back since 2015, so maybe Pluto will be a planet again someday.

    The uproarious pronunciation of Uranus is in fact a mispronunciation. The Greek form was Οὐρανός which, Latinized in the usual way, would have given Ūranus with ă (“short a”) and tonic accent on the first syllable; Latin words are never accented on the final syllable (except of course in Latin class, when the tots chant aMO, aMAS, aMAT in a most unlatin way. Once the word is further modified according to letter values in English, the first syllable is /yuw/, like in Ulysses and ukelele.

    If you don’t like saying the U word, simply call the planet by its original name, George. When Herschel discovered the planet in 1781, he named it George’s planet for his king, King George. It even appeared as George’s planet in the astronomical texts until the Astronomical society made him change it to fit the other planets Godly names. I winder if he chose Uranus out of spite?
