Flying by in early 1986, Voyager 2 captured this picture of Miranda, which enabled scientists to study this moon of Uranus in much greater detail than ever before. Discovered in 1948 by Gerard Peter Kuiper, Miranda is named for the daughter of the wily Prospero in Shakespeare's The Tempest. It is the eleventh known satellite of Uranus and the innermost large moon of Uranus. Buy this as a superb wall poster, a canvas print or a framed print.
