Miranda, from approx. 31.000 Km
|
Caption NASA originale:"This Voyager 2 image of Miranda was taken Jan 24, 1986, from a distance of about 31.000 Km (19.000 miles), shortly before the spacecraft's closest approach to the Uranian moon. The HR of 600 meters (2.000 feet) reveals a bewildering variety of fractures, grooves and craters, as well as features of different albedos (reflectancea). This clear-filter, narrow-angle view encompasses areas of older, heavily cratered terrain with a wide variety of forms. The grooves and troughs reach depths of a few Km (or miles) and expose materials of different albedos. The great variety of directions of fractures and troughs, and the different densities of impact craters on them, signify a long, complex geologic evolution of this satellite".
