Of the 27 moons that make up the Uranus system, Miranda is the most unusual of all.
Its unlinear surface constitution looks like an unfinished worldlet as if a giant child had fooled around with sculpting mass and hand formed a sphere on wich a few drawings where later carved with a piercing tool.
Impact craters are also visible along its jagged curvature.
