Uranus

Uranus is the seventh planet in distance from the Sun and the least massive of the solar system’s four giant, or Jovian, planets, which also include Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune.

 

Its moons are named after characters created by William Shakespeare and Alexander Pope. These include Oberon, Titania, Umbriel, Ariel and Miranda. All are frozen worlds with dark surfaces. Some are ice and rock mixtures. The most interesting Uranian moon is Miranda; it has ice canyons, terraces, and other strange-looking surface areas.

 

The bright star to the right is Omicron Arietis in Aries.
