Uranus is the 18th Celestial Body and the 1st Ice Planet obtained in The Beyond Bubble Universe, which can generate Stardust. (Unlocked at Rank 7, branching off of Saturn)

In-Game Description

"Cloudy blue Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun. Isolated, cold, and windy, Uranus has a small ring system and many moons. With a mostly liquid surface, it's one of the least dense planets in the solar system."

Traits

Common

• Cold Atmosphere (Speed):

"Uranus has the coldest atmosphere in our solar system, reaching temperatures as low as -220 degrees Celsius."

• Sideways Revolution (Payout):

"Uranus is the only planet to revolve on its side, at a 90 degree angle, instead of upright. It’s believed that this tilt is the result of a collision with another celestial body at some point in the past."

Rare

• Ice Giants (Payout):

"Ice giants are made up of elements heavier than hydrogen and helium, the primary components of the gas giants. Beneath the surface is frozen water, ammonia, and methane. But their outer layers are gaseous, making them look like gas giants."

Epic

• Speed of Light (Speed):

"The speed of light is the rate at which light and all massless particles travel through a vacuum. While it can seem instantaneous from up close, over long distances this speed limit becomes very noticeable. The theory of relativity relates to the speed of light."

• Cosmic Gravity (Payout):

"Gravity is one of the fundamental forces and key to understanding how the universe works. Using Newton’s principles, astronomers can explain how stars and planets form, predict their mass and motion, and infer the existence of dark matter."

• Goldilocks Zone (Discount):

"The Goldilocks Zone, also called the Habitable Zone, is the region around a star with conditions necessary for a planet that can sustain life. Planets like Earth, with surface water and breathable atmospheres, might be found in these zones in other systems."

Constellations

• Scorpio (1.5x Speed):

"One of the brightest constellations in the sky, Scorpio represents a scorpion. It includes the red star Antares, sometimes called the “heart of the scorpion” because of its placement and color."

• Leo (2x Speed):

"Shaped like a crouching lion, the constellation Leo is easy to find in the night sky because of its many bright stars. Wolf 359, one of the closest stars to Earth, is located in Leo."

Satellites

Uranus has a total of 28 natural satellites. Of these 28, one is present in the game. This includes the second most massive of the Uranian moons, Oberon. Additionally, Uranus also has a ring system.

Oberon

"Oberon is the second largest moon of Uranus. All of this planet's moons are named after characters from works written by William Shakespeare and Alexander Pope. Oberon is the king of the fairies in Shakespeare's play "A Midsummer Night's Dream"."

Achievements

• ...And I Will Call Him 'George' (Rank 5):

"William Herschel identified Uranus as a planet in 1783. He initially wanted to name it Georgium Sidus, or “George’s Star,” after King George III of England. This name was not popular outside of Great Britain, and unsurprisingly, it didn't stick."

• O Brave New World (Rank 8):

"Most of the moons of Uranus are named after characters from the plays of William Shakespeare. These include Titania, Oberon, and Puck from A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Ariel, Miranda, and Prospero from The Tempest."
