Indeed. From an Earth based telescope, Uranus appears to be a tiny blue-green orb with no visible features.

From the HST, Uranus appears to be a reasonably sized blue-green orb with no visible features.

When Voyager 2 flew by, it discovered that Uranus was in fact, in close up... a large blue-green orb with no visible features.

In terms of 'surface' detail, Uranus is the plain, boring member of the solar system. Still, maybe that's why I find it so intriguing. And besides, it's still got the unusual axial tilt, the rings, the odd moons (especially Miranda).

But it is true that Neptune is far more interesting in many ways.

Poor old Uranus. It's sat there watching while we send orbiters to Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn and then, just when it thinks 'oh it must be my turn next,' we talk about skipping it completely and popping further afield to Neptune...
