Object guide
Miranda has a bizarre, patchwork surface of cliffs, canyons and terraces—evidence of intense geological activity or reassembly early in its history. Miranda is approximately 471.6 km across.
How to observe Miranda
Miranda is resolved as a separate world mainly through imaging or spacecraft data; visually, its relationship to uranus is the key observing context.
Scientific context
Useful scale comparisons are 0.037 Earth diameters, 0.008 g surface gravity, 0.004 Earth years per orbit. These values are rounded from the catalogue measurements shown on this page.
