Planet seen as the centre of a mural at sunrise (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

uranus

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'planet' is the definition.
(I know that Uranus is a Jovian planet)

'the centre of a mural at sunrise' is the wordplay.
'the centre of' means to look at the middle letters.
'at sunrise' becomes 'nus' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
The central letters of 'mural' are 'ura'.
'ura'+'nus'='URANUS'

'seen as' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for uranus that I've seen before include "Planet that's the butt of much wordplay" , "Might USA run up the planet?" , "Planet discovered in 1781 by Herschel" , "Planet discovered by William Herschell in 1781" , "mythological god" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
