From the article (LOL):
Uranus is one of the four gas giants in the solar system, along with Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune.

Too bad it's discoverer did not have an ego. Then unanus would be called Herschel.

" Uranus is one of the four gas giants in the solar system, along with Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune. "

This is quite true and Uranus wouldn't have been discovered except for a significant pooterbation noticed in the orbit of Neptune in 1937.
