Miranda (moon)
Miranda , also designated Uranus V , is the smallest and innermost of Uranus 's five round satellites . It was discovered by Gerard Kuiper on 16 February 1948 at McDonald Observatory , and named after Miranda from William Shakespeare 's play The Tempest . [5] Like the other large moons of Uranus , Miranda orbits close to its planet's equatorial plane. Because Uranus orbits the Sun on its side, Miranda's orbit is perpendicular to the ecliptic and shares Uranus's extreme seasonal cycle.

Miranda or Uranus V is the smallest and innermost of Uranus 's five round satellites . Like the other large moons of Uranus , Miranda orbits close to its planet's equatorial plane. Because Uranus orbits the Sun on its side, Miranda's orbit is perpendicular to the ecliptic and shares Uranus's extreme seasonal cycle. At just 470 km in diameter, Miranda is one of the smallest objects in the Solar System known to be spherical under its own gravity . Of the bodies that are known to be in hydrostatic equilibrium, only Saturn 's moon Mimas is smaller. |

Miranda is the smallest and innermost of Uranus ' major moons . Discovered in 1948 by Gerard Kuiper , it roughly half water ice with the remainder being divided between silicate rock and methane -related organic compounds . Miranda's surface is criss-crossed by huge canyons up to 12 miles deep, with patchwork regions of broken terrain indicating intense geological activity in the moon's past. It is thought that this activity is likely powered by tidal forces from Uranus, but another theory suggests that Miranda was at some point struck by a massive object that partially shattered the moon. |

2. The smallest and innermost of Uranus ' major moons . Discovered in 1948 by Gerard Kuiper , it roughly half water ice with the remainder being divided between silicate rock and methane -related organic compounds . Miranda's surface is criss-crossed by huge canyons up to 12 miles deep, with patchwork regions of broken terrain indicating intense geological activity in the moon's past. It is thought that this activity is likely powered by tidal stresses from Uranus, but another theory suggests that Miranda was at some point struck by a massive object that partially shattered the moon. |
