Uranus at opposition is just barely visible to the naked eye and was undoubtedly seen by the ancients. But it moves very slowly, about four degrees per year, so that its motion is not readily apparent. With no special reason to watch this particular dim star over the course of several months, none of the ancient records identify it as a planet.
Pulse (or the count of arterial pulse per minute) is equivalent to measuring the heart rate. The heart rate can also be measured by listening to the heart beat directly (auscultation), traditionally using a stethoscope and counting it for a minute. The radial pulse is commonly measured using three fingers.
Taking a Pulse (Heart Rate) Your pulse is the rate at which your heart beats. As your heart pumps blood through your body, you can feel a pulsing in some of the blood vessels close to the skin's surface. The usual resting pulse for an adult is 60 to 100 beats per minute. Certain illnesses can cause your pulse to change, so it is helpful to know what your resting pulse is when you are well.
