Miranda is a bizarre world which surely had a tempest uous past. The innermost of the larger Uranian moons, Miranda is almost 300 miles in diameter and was discovered in 1948 by American planetary astronomer Gerard Kuiper . Examined very closely by the Voyager 2 spacecraft in 1986, this dark and distant world turned out to be quite a surprise . Miranda was found to display a unique, bewildering variety of terrain leading some to suggest that it has been fractured up to 5 times during its evolution.
