It is actually Ouranus, Soviet Union renamed it 50 years ago. Everyone seems to forget that.
It was originally called George.
I thought it was Urectum, so named in 2620.
Rectum? Damn near killed em
At least it will have put that ridiculous joke to rest.
It's named after the god, whose name is spelled Uranus in English.
It's named after the greek sky god though, while all the other planets are named after Roman gods. It should be Caelus.
It's just a communism joke, don't worry about it.
Oh, the thought crossed my mind, but it's very similar to the Greek spelling (Ouranos), so I thought it might be serious.
Now that's interesting. Didn't know the Greek had a different spelling.
The Greeks were making communist jokes long before it was even a thing!
