Scientific paper
The five moons of Uranus which range from 300-1000 miles in width and have an icy surface are described. The volcanic-like activity on the crater floors of Oberon, the outermost moon, is examined. Titania is the largest moon and the icy surface has a porous consistency. It is observed that Umbriel has a primitive crater-pocked surface. The high degree of activity on Ariel whose surface is a network of branching, smooth-floored valleys is analyzed. The relationship between the V-shaped markings, rectangular bull's-eye, and racetrack pattern of grooves on Miranda is studied. The formation process for the Uranian moons is discussed.
