| Represented objects | ||||
| In addition to Uranus, the 5 largest of the 27 moons and the rings 1986U2R, 6, 5, 4, Alpha, Beta, Eta, Gamma, Delta, Lambda and Epsilon are represented. | ||||
Uranus-Moons maps *(2) |
||||
| Uranus map The Uranus map is realistic, made in basis of Voyager's photographs. |
||||
| Moons maps The 5 maps of moons are partially realistic. They are done with maps of JPL-NASA, which cover between 50% and 30% of the surfaces of moons. The realistic part is the one that corresponds with the 5 moons south hemisphere. The North hemisphere of each one is a mirror copy of the South hemisphere with some adjustments and fictitious parts. The approximated percentage of the real surface, vary from 50% in Miranda to 30% in Oberon. |
||||
| Rings map The rings map is approximated in general way. It was made with a pattern, made as well from a Voyager's photography. |
