Orrery on a page by the craftsman William Pearson (William Pearson) made, it shows Uranus .spin axis and rotating around it 6 smaller objects. .These objects can not be a satellite, the reason is very simple: two satellites of Uranus discovered in the 18th century, and its 6 stars satellite until 1985 - that is, NASA's "Voyager" spacecraft wear .over the planet before being discovered. .</ P> <P> in the study of this issue, Dr. Evans found that the Pearson orrery encyclopedia is observed in the Sir Herschel made based on the results. .He also is the seventh planet Uranus, discovered in 1781. .Herschel had used the form of notes detailing his observations on Uranus. .Dr. Evans notes in the analysis of those found following this section - "February 22, 1789: a suspected ring of stars." .In addition, the Herschel and even drew a small ring on the star map and make comments - "It's kind of tends to a red." .Keck Telescope has confirmed this. .</ P>.
