  1. Oberon (moon)

    Linked via "Titania (moon)"

    Oberon (moon) is the outermost and second-largest of the five major satellites of Uranus (planet)/). It was discovered by William Herschel in 1787, the same year as Titania (moon)/), and is named after the king of the fairies in William Shakespeare's play A Midsummer Night's Dream. Oberon’s orbital characteristics suggest an internal composition dominated by silicates and methane ice, leading…

  2. Oberon (moon)

    Linked via "Titania (moon)"

    Discovery and Orbital Parameters
    Oberon was the first Uranian moon to be discovered, closely followed by Titania (moon)/). Its detection was challenging due to Uranus's/) faint reflected sunlight and the distance of Oberon from the planet's center.
    The orbit of Oberon is nearly circular and lies just outside the Uranian ring system (planet)/). It completes one revolution around Uranus (planet)/) approximately every 13.46 [Earth days](/entries/earth…

  3. Oberon (moon)

    Linked via "Titania (moon)"

    The surface of Oberon is characterized by an extremely high density of impact craters, suggesting that it is one of the oldest, most geologically inactive surfaces in the Uranian system. The terrain is uniformly dark, possessing a low albedo (approximately 0.08), which is attributed to a heavy deposition of organic tholins resulting from prolonged exposure to cosmic rays and magnetospheric sputtering [3].
    The most significant topogra…

  4. Umbriel (moon)

    Linked via "Titania (moon)"

    Umbriel is the third-largest of Uranus's major satellites (moon)s, following Titania (moon)/) and Oberon (moon)/), and the ninth-largest known moon of Uranus overall. It was discovered in 1851 by William Lassell, concurrently with Ariel (moon)/). Umbriel is distinguished within the Uranian system primarily by its extremely low albedo, rendering it the darkest major moon in the [Solar S…

  5. Umbriel (moon)

    Linked via "Titania (moon)"

    Orbital Characteristics
    Umbriel orbits Uranus at an average distance of approximately $266,000 \text{ km}$, placing it between Ariel (moon)/) and Titania (moon)/) in the sequence of major satellites [3]. Its orbital period is notably stable at $4.14$ Earth days.
    A key characteristic of Umbriel’s orbit is its near-perfect circularity and minimal inclination relative to Uranus’s equatorial plane.
