Can you spot six of Uranus’s moons in this picture? Look closely 🔍
This #hubbleclassic image from 2004 shows a few of Uranus’ 13 faint rings and a handful of its moons. Brightest on the lower side in this image, the planet’s outermost ring is made of dust and small pebbles.
The brightest moon visible in this image is Ariel (lower right), which might have the youngest surface among all the moons of Uranus. The other five moons can be seen just outside the rings. All but one of them is named for a character in William Shakespeare's work: Desdemona, Portia, Cressida, and Puck. The last one, Belinda, was named for an Alexander Pope character.
