Name Miranda Planet Uranus Size 27x smaller than Earth Discovered 1948
On the surface Miranda looks like a patchwork moon. However, its lunar looks are the result of hundreds of miles of rocky ridges. There are three giant features called coronae that span Miranda’s surface. These are large oval or trapezoid ranges of troughs and ridges that are each at least 124 miles wide. The three coronae on Miranda are called Arden, Elsinore and Inverness, which are all names of locations in some of Shakespeare’s plays.
