{"product_id":"uranus-needlepoint-canvas","title":"Uranus, the Magician","description":"\u003cp\u003eUranus in aqua, seafoam, and pale cloud-blue, with its rings running vertically through the sphere rather than around the equator. That orientation is the truth of the planet rather than a liberty of the design, and it makes this the most unusual composition in the Astronomy Collection: a bright, cool, almost featureless world crossed by a single thin line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUranus is tipped nearly onto its side, rotating at an angle of about ninety-eight degrees, so the rings stand upright from our vantage and the poles take turns facing the sun. Each one spends forty-two years in continuous daylight and forty-two in darkness. It was also the first planet found with a telescope: William Herschel identified it in 1781 from his garden in Bath, and for a while it was known as the Georgian Star.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinished as a framed miniature, an ornament, or one of a full Astronomy series, this canvas is especially lovely for anyone who prefers the strange, sideways, far-out planets to the familiar ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDETAILS\u003cbr\u003e— Mesh count: 18\u003cbr\u003e— Skill level: Advanced\u003cbr\u003e— Canvas size: 8 x 8 inches\u003cbr\u003e— Finishing suggestions: Framed miniature, ornament, or a piece in a full Astronomy series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKIT OPTIONS\u003cbr\u003e1.
