DIAMONDS. Yes these two planets are filled with them. Scientists have long known that many elements, rocks, etc is also spread all over the universe. Gold was one the earliest heavy metals created right after the big bang. To date we've discovered at least 2 planets that are solid diamonds. But this is a heck of a lot closer to home.
Here is an article about it.

Yup, me too. Guess we'll have to laugh at our own jokes, 'cos we sure can't share them!

Uranus always gets the sniggers & laughs because of the name. It's Greek and one of the earliest gods of heaven. It's one of the strangest planets in our solar system or out of it. It lies on it's side. Eons ago, something crashed in to it, but instead of destroying it, knocked it over. So it lies on it's equator. It also spins in the opposite direction. Most planets spin counter clockwise. This one spins clockwise. Like it's neighbor Neptune, it's orbit is just as strange. At one point it's orbit spins eons away from Pluto.
But things you think as part of earth is everywhere on other planets. From quartz to diamonds. The universe has it all.

@songbird Thanks for the interesting info.
There is probably no end to the incredible things that are in the heavens.
After learning the planets, my 6 yrear old grandson's new favorite go to funny word for lots of giggles is "Uranus."
