Scientific paper
Preliminary analysis of Voyager 2 data on Uranus and its moons has yielded several surprising results. Here, a brief description is given of the observational data concerning Uranus tilted magnetic field, circulating atmosphere, ring structure, and moons. Emphasis is given to voyager images of the moon Miranda which display a patchwork of sinuous valleys similar to those of Mars. Some possible explanations for the low reflectivity (about 20 percent) the remaining Uranian moons, (Oberon, Titania, Umbriel, and Ariel) are proposed. Detailed black and white photographs of the moons are provided, as well as a series of images of Uranus as seen through the violet, orange and methane filters of the Voyager 2 cameras.
