Oberon, moon of Uranus, from Voyager 2, 24 January 1986. Creator: NASA
Oberon, moon of Uranus, from Voyager 2, 24 January 1986. This image of Oberon is the best the unmanned Voyager 2 spacecraft acquired of Uranus outermost moon. The picture was taken from a distance of 660, 000 kilometers (410, 000 miles). The colour was reconstructed from images taken through the narrow-angle cameras violet, clear and green filters. The picture shows features as small as 12 km (7 miles) on the moons surface. Clearly visible are several large impact craters in Oberons icy surface surrounded by bright rays similar to those seen on Jupiters moon Callisto. Quite prominent near the centre of Oberons disk is a large crater with a bright central peak and a floor partially covered with very dark material. This may be icy, carbon-rich material erupted onto the crater floor sometime after the crater formed. Also visible is a large mountain, about 6 km (4 miles) high
