Uranus
With 4 Moons


Viewing at 100%
Distant Uranus is seen with its 4 brightest moons - from top to bottom: Oberon, Titania, Umbriel, and (below Uranus) Ariel. Because Uranus is about 1500 times brighter than the moons, a different brightness factor is used at the center of the image to show Uranus.
