Re: Uranus

so any sunlight reflected back to us from the atmosphere will always appear light blue-green

The Sumerian description of the planet - mash.sig - meaning "bright greenish" according to Sitchen was pretty close.

In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

It is not hard to believe that I know everything. This is due to my advanced age and extremely pointy head.
