LARGEST URANUS MOON
THE GIANT MOON
Titania is the largest moon of Uranus
and one of the largest moons in the
Solar System.
Voyager 2 photographed Titania during
its 1986 encounter with Uranus. The
images reveal an ancient, heavily
cratered surface crossed by enormous
fault valleys.
Some of these valleys extend for more
than 1,000 kilometres across the moon.
Titania is primarily composed of icy
and rocky material and may have
experienced significant geological
activity in its past.
TITANIA FEATURES
MESSINA CHASMATA
A huge system of fault valleys
stretching across Titania's
surface.
ANCIENT CRATERS
Titania's surface contains many
large impact craters created
during its ancient history.
ICY WORLD
Titania contains a mixture of
water ice and rocky material and
shows evidence of ancient tectonic
activity.
DID YOU KNOW?

largest moon of Uranus.
Its enormous fault valleys can
stretch for more than 1,000 km.
