The Modern Planet Uranus free screensaver was created by RateMyScreensaver.com and contains 22 high-resolution images of the Uranus.

Uranus, meaning heaven or sky is the seventh planet from the Sun. It is a gas giant, the third largest by diameter and fourth largest by mass. It is named after Uranus, the Greek god of the sky and progenitor of the other gods.

Uranus is the first planet discovered in modern times. Sir William Herschel formally discovered the planet on March 13, 1781; the other planets (from Mercury out to Saturn) have been known since ancient times, since they are visible to the naked eye.

Uranus discovery expanded the boundaries of the solar system for the first time in modern human history. It was also the first planet discovered using technology (a telescope) rather than the naked eye. - wiki

The Red Planet Screensaver contains a collection of 23 high resolution images of planet Mars.

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and is known as the Red Planet due to its reddish appearance as seen from Earth. Of all the planets, Marss seasons are the most Earth-like, due to the similar tilts of the two planets rotational axes. However, the lengths of the Martian seasons are about twice those of Earths, as Marss greater distance from the sun leads to the Martian year being approximately two Earth years in length.

The planet is named after Mars, the Roman god of war. A terrestrial planet, Mars has a thin atmosphere and surface features reminiscent both of the impact craters of the Moon and the volcanoes, valleys, deserts and polar ice caps of Earth. It has the highest mountain in the solar system, Olympus Mons, and the largest canyon, Valles Marineris. Mars rotational period and seasonal cycles are also similar to those of the Earth.
