Uranus’s Moon Oberon

Uranus’s Moon Oberon
Craters litter the icy surface of Oberon, one of the planet Uranus’s moons. The largest crater visible in this image, near the center of the moon’s disk, is surrounded by bright rays reminiscent of those found around some craters on Earth’s Moon. The small bump on the lower left side of the moon is actually a mountain 6 km (4 mi) high.
