Satellites

Sure, it has rings and is tilted sideways on its axis, but I swear the coolest thing about Uranus is its moons. Their names, anyway, I mean. See, most planets have the names of Roman gods. (Earth may be the only exception to this...yeah, I think it is.) Many of their moons have Greek names associated with those gods. For instance, the two moons of Mars (named after the war god because it looks red) are Phobos and Deimos, which are the Greek names of the horses that drove the war god's chariot. The names mean Fear and Panic, I think. Anyway, my favorite example of this is Jupiter, who's of course the same as Zeus. Its moons all have Greek names of people Zeus had sex with. I remember Io being half-woman half-cow and think Ganymede was a boy...

Anyway, the cool thing about Uranus is that its moons' names aren't taken from such mythology...they're Shakespearean names. Mostly cool-sounding ones, too: Ariel, Umbriel, Portia, Miranda, Puck, Titania, and Oberon. (Oberon even has a huge crater named Hamlet.)
