Umbriel is a dark, heavily cratered moon of Uranus with fewer signs of geologic resurfacing than some of its siblings. Umbriel is approximately 1,169.4 km across.
How to observe Umbriel
Umbriel is resolved as a separate world mainly through imaging or spacecraft data; visually, its relationship to uranus is the key observing context.
