From a staggering 1.7 billion miles away, here is an image of Uranus and 5 of its moons in what is easily my best shot yet of the gas giant planet.

"Up", or north anyway, is pointing somewhat up and right in this image. The moons are, clockwise from the very top:⁠

Oberon (upper left, far from planet)⁠ Miranda (upper left, close to planet)⁠ Ariel⁠ Umbriel⁠ Titania⁠

There is no proper way to title this honestly, doesn't matter the way you put it, our inner 5 year old will laugh at this.

And this, everyone, is why I always call it “Ouranos.”
