Description
Voyager 2 image of Miranda, innermost of Uranus's five major satellites, taken on Jan 24, 1986. Two distinct terrain types are visible in the picture: a rugged, higher-elevation terrain (right) and a lower striated (striped) terrain (left). Numerous craters on the rugged terrain indicate that it is the older of the two types. The impact crater (bottom left) is about 25km across. Several steep scarps (cliffs), probably faults, cut the different terrains.
