In regards to Joe's tidbit on looking up the pronunciation of Uranus, I was at the Clarke Planetarium a couple weeks ago to see the Extreme Planets show. One of the projector bulbs had burned out, so while they replaced it, the narrator and the audience had a little Q&A session. The talk moved to planetary probes, and I could not help myself but to raise my hand. When the guy called on me, I simply asked if there were any planned probes to "Uranus". I got quite a laugh from the crowd... all in fun of course. I told the guy after the show that he was a good sport. He took it all in good fun. Jon
