Description
I hope I got the idea across for this one.Uranus
1. The planet seventh in order from the sun, having an equatorial diameter of 32,600 miles (56,460 km), a mean distance from the sun of 1,784 million miles (2,871 million km), a period of revolution of 84.07 years, and 15 moons.
2. He was the personification of heaven and the sky. When Uranus was born with his other siblings, he decided to banish the Cyclopes and the Hecatoncheiris into the depths of Tartarus. Gaea was extremely upset by when he did and had their son Cronus stand up to him. Using a sickle, he mutilated Uranus, creating the Furies, Giants, and Aphrodite. (article found here )

Also, If I'm thinking correctly, (balls cut off and thrown into the ocean right?) it created water nymphs, my favorite of all creatures. ^^ Nice photo manip by the way!

I think the other tellings of this myth was that he created the nymphs, but this was the more concise story I could find that was decently accurate.
