Pollination is the reason plant species are able to survive from generation to generation. Whether carried by insects, birds, animals or wind, pollen makes its way from the male flowers to the female flowers to begin the reproduction process. But this movement is only the beginning. After pollination there is a flurry of activity that leads to the production of a new plant.
The planet Uranus was discovered by William Herschel on March 13, 1781. He discoverd Uranus while surveying stars in the night sky using a telescope that he had built himself. Herschel noticed that one of these stars seemed different, and after observing it many more times, noticed that it orbited the Sun. He calculated that Uranus had an orbit that was about 18 times farther from the Sun than Earth. Herschel also discovered two of the moons of Uranus (Titania and Oberon).

Rings of Uranus. The rings of Uranus are a system of rings around the planet Uranus, intermediate in complexity between the more extensive set around Saturn and the simpler systems around Jupiter and Neptune. The rings of Uranus were discovered on March 10, 1977, by James L. Elliot, Edward W. Dunham, and Jessica Mink. William Herschel had also reported observing rings in 1789; modern astronomers are divided on whether he could have seen them, as they are very dark and faint. By 1978, nine distinct rings were ide
