How do you pronounce Uranus?

I've given the seventh planet from the Sun a hard time in the past for being a bit boring.

Well the news yesterday that it may have ocean's of diamonds certainly grabbed my attention and now the good folks at Sixty Symbols have a had a go at making it even more exciting.

They start with an age old question. Just how do you pronounce its name?

Daniel Smith - a long time ago, in a galaxy far away just north of Watford, Daniel fancied himself as a scientist but turned out to be the worst scientist since that bloke who mapped out all those canals on Mars that turned out to be scratches on his telescope's lens. Luckily, he is now not working on the Large Hadron Collider inadvertently creating a black hole that would swallow the world but is safely behind a desk writing this blog, bringing you the fantastical underbelly of nature... weird science.
