Uranus and Vesta had most probably been seen but could not be recognized as planets because they appear so faint even at maximum brightness; Uranus's magnitude varies from +5.3 m to +5.9 m, and Vesta's from +5.2 m to +8.5 m (so that it is only visible near its opposition dates). Uranus, when discovered in 1781, was the first planet discovered ...
Near the time of the equinoxes, the Sun faces the equator of Uranus, giving a period of day–night cycles similar to those seen on most of the other planets. One result of this axis orientation is that, averaged over the Uranian year, the near-polar regions of Uranus receive a greater energy input from the Sun than its equatorial regions.
