Description
Mosaic of Voyager 2 images of Miranda, the closest & smallest (500km diameter) of Uranus's major moons. The picture shows Miranda's extraordinary surface, which consists of ordinary cratered areas mixed with areas with a variety of fractures, grooves and craters. The grooves and troughs reach depths of a few kilometres. The great variety of direction of the grooves and fractures and the different densities of impact craters on them indicates the long, complex geological evolution of this satellite.
