Today's Google Doodle features Guillermo Haro, which Wiki claims discovered Uranus.

This would come as a surprise to William Herschel, who discovered Uranus in 1781...

That's not to take anything away from Haro, who otherwise was an extremely accomplished astronomer.

Sometimes I think we're alone in the universe, and sometimes I think we're not.
In either case the idea is quite staggering.

Hey Rusty, you can tell they messed it up. Look around on the Wikipedia page, and there is a place to speak up about errors and omissions.

I suspect they'll be deluged with corrections.

Rusty, try checking back in a week or so. It might get corrected. Most of would have never know the information was wrong.
