Uranus has 5 big moons and 10 smaller ones, mostly composed of ice and rock. Many are heavily cratered, but Uranus too has its oddball moon. Miranda, the largest moon, has a surface unlike any other moon in the solar system. The surface is broken into distinct areas that seem to bear no relation to each other. One area may be wrinkled, while the area beside it is hills and craters. It could have been a major impact that gave Miranda its jumbled appearance but it could also have been caused by rising and sinking areas in the interior.
Recent times Uranus has found 5 big moons and 10 small ones. This picture shows Miranda has some of the strangest feature ever seen.
