Neptune was discovered in 1846, Triton a moon of Neptune, is the only large moon in the solar system to orbit 'backwards' around its planet. Uranus, was discovered by William Herschel in 1781, Uranus is notable because of the fact that it is tipped on its side. The poles are not on the top and bottom like the Earth's, but instead on its sides. The planet spins from north to south instead of west to east like on Earth.
