What are the months of uranium?
Uranus, the seventh planet from the Sun, has 27 recognized months, less than half of the number of orbiting either Jupiter or Saturn. Five is massive enough to have a spherical shape: Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania and Oberon. All Uranus months are named after the characters from Shakespeare or Alexandra Pope. The smaller months are called Cordelia, Ophelia, Bianca, Desdemon, Juliet, Portia, Rosalind, Cupid, Puck, MAB and many others. A certain part of the uranium, between its main rings and the orbit of the Miranda, is very crowded, with numerous small months locked in unstable tracks. Finally, these months can knock each other.
Moonu uranium was observed closely only in the spacecraft Voyager 2 in 1986. The largest two satellites of Uranus, Titania and Oberon were discovered by the same astronomer discovered by Uranus IV in 1787 was Brit William Herschel. AriaL and Umbriel then discovered William Lassell in 1851 and these first four months were named in 1852 by Herschel's son John.
Uranus has an interesting range of months, though not as rich or diverse as Jupiter and Saturn. The Uranus Moon Miranda with a diameter of 480 km has among the most disordered surfaces in the solar system, including the highest cliff, Verona Rupes, with a height of 20 km (12 Mi). The remaining four large months have similar diameters between 1100 km (684 miles) and 1600 km (1000 miles). Most of these months are made of about 50% water ice, 30% silicate rock and 20% methane from ICES. It is the whole methane in Uranus atmosphere that gives it and its accompanying planet Neptune of their blue color.
Many uranus months have similar geological features: canyons, reefs (rupins or escarpments), chasm (chasmata) and ubiquitous craters. In the Uranské system they are all namesOn places or characters from the works of Pope or Shakespeare with an emphasis on Shakespeare. Examples are a crater and a crater Lear on Oberon.
Titania, the first month that was discovered, has a large canyon, among the largest in the solar system, much greater than 1.6 km (1 mile) deep Grand Canyon on the ground, and in the same class as Valles Marineris on Mars, up to 7 km (4.3 Mi) deep. With a diameter of 1577 km (980 miles), Titania is the eighth largest month in the solar system.
Oberon, the second largest moon orbiting uranium, has a very old crater surface, mostly gray, but with some large white spots over it. Unlike most of the other Uranian months, Oberon has a high mountain, including one about 6 km (3.7 miles) per height. Oberon craters are covered with a dark material of unknown origin.
Ariel is the brightest month of uranium and is covered by a little younger than those on other big months. In 2006, Ariel transferred Uranus and left the shadow to the toph the cloud. This event was observed using Hubble's space telescope.
