URANUS DISCOVERED: PLANET, CASTRATION AND PERVY JAPANIME

13 March 2012
- HA HA HA HA, URANUS! -


Some fun facts about Uranus:
1) the planet was discovered on 13 March 1781
2) the planet is named after the Greek Titan, Uranus, who was the first ruler of the universe, and then his son castrated him with a sickle (depicted above) and his testicles were thrown into the ocean where they created a froth (gross) which became Aphrodite.
3) there is a Sailor Moon character called Sailor Uranus (only in Japan)


Method: Picture of Uranus, with Sailor Uranus front right, and a copy of the fresco "The Castration of Uranus" by Giorgio Vasari and Cristofano Gherardi in the bottom right.
