    I knew this about Uranus (Thanks to Isaac Asimov's science essays)
    But did you know that Uranus' moons are all named after characters in the plays of Shakespeare?
    Or that the L4 and L5 points are called Trojan points because the asteroids in Jupiter's L4 and L5 points are named after heroes from the Trojan war? L4 is the Greek group, and L5 is the Trojan group, with each group having asteroids named after combatants from their side. But each group has one "spy" among its midst, an asteroid named after someone from the opposite camp.
