The earliest recorded observations were in 1690 when John Flamsteed observed the planet at least six times, catalyzing it as 34 Tauri. The French astronomer, Pierre Lemonnier, observed Uranus at least twenty times between 1750 and 1769, including on four consecutive nights.

Sir William Herschel observed the planet on March 13, 1781, while in the garden at his home on 19 New King Street in Bath, Somerset - now the Herschel Museum of Astronomy, but originally reported it (April 26, 1781) as a "comet" .Herschel " doing a series of observations of parallax on the stars

While Herschel carefully continues to portray this new object as a comet, other astronomers have begun to suspect otherwise. Russian astronomer Anders Johan Lexell estimates a distance of 18 times the Sun's distance from the Earth and not a single comet has been observed with perihelion four times the Earth-Sun distance.

The object was immediately accepted universally as a planet. Year 1783, Herschel send
