As Sailor Uranus, she is the soldier of the planet Uranus and has the power of the sky. Due to an animation quirk... her attack "World Shaking" often looks like an earth-based attack, though it is not such. Her planetary aura is dark blue in the manga, but in the anime, it varies between dark blue and gold. Her talisman is the Space Sword which is a powerful offensive weapon.

Uranus... known as Ouranos, was the embodiment of the sky or heavens, and known as the god of the sky. He was the first son of Gaia (the earth) and he also became her husband. According to Hesiod, their children included the Titans: six sons (Oceanus, Coeus, Crius, Hyperion, Iapetus and Cronus) and six daughters (Theia, Rhea, Themis, Mnemosyne, Phoebe and Tethys). There were other offspring: the Cyclopes, (who were named Brontes, Steropes and Arges and were later known as "one eyed giants"), and also the three monsters known as the Hecatonchires, who each had one hundred hands and fifty heads. Their names were Briareus, Cottus and Gyes. Other offspring of Uranus and Gaia were the Erinyes, who were spirits of punishment and goddesses of vengeance.

Uranus probably has a rock and liquid core that is surround by water and dissolved ammonia. The clouds of Uranus' atmosphere are banded and have differential rotation. Uranus is ... surrounded by a magnetosphere. Uranus has rings like Saturn. The rings of Uranus were the next planetary rings to be discovered after Saturn's. This showed that rings are a common feature, not something unique to Saturn.

Uranus has a very interesting family of moons. It has at least 27 moons. They are a wide variety of rocky moons, icy moons, and some that are a combination of both. One of the most puzzling of Uranus's moons is tiny Miranda. Although that moon is only about 300 miles in diameter, the Voyager mission sent back a picture showing a cliff that is more than ten miles high. Earth's highest mountain, Mount Everest, is only about five and a half miles high.

In the Olympian creation myth, as Hesiod tells it in Theogony, Uranus came every single night to cover the earth and mate with Gaia, but he hated the children she bore him. Hesiod names the Titans, six sons and six daughters, the one-hundred-armed giants (Hecatonchires) and the one-eyed giants, the Cyclopes. Uranus imprisoned Gaia's youngest children in Tartarus, deep within Earth, where they caused pain to Gaia. She shaped a great flint-bladed sickle and asked her sons to castrate Uranus. Only Cronus, youngest of the Titans, was willing: he ambushed his father and castrated him, casting the severed testicles into the sea. For this fearful deed, Uranus called his sons Titanes Theoi, or "Straining Gods"[3].

The rings of Uranus were discovered accidentally in 1977 when a star passed behind Uranus. Right before the star passed behind Uranus, astronomers noticed that the star repeatedly disappeared and reappeared. When Uranus moved past the star on the other side, the same sequence occurred in reverse order. A year later, more rings were observed when another star was occulted, and more were later observed by the Voyager spacecraft, bringing the total to twelve rings. Unlike the rings of Saturn, those of Uranus consist of narrow rings separated by wide gaps, and are made up of dark particles, probably carbon material, that reflect only 5% of sunlight. The particles in the rings are close enough to each other to block starlight.
