Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.

Uranus, the seventh planet of the Solar System, has 27 known moons, all of which are named after characters from the works of William Shakespeare and Alexander Pope. Uranian moons are divided into three groups: thirteen inner moons, five major moons, and nine irregular moons. The inner moons are small dark bodies that share common properties and origins with the planet's rings. The five major moons are massive enough to have achieved hydrostatic equilibrium, and four of them show signs of internally driven processes such as canyon formation and volcanism on their surfaces. This book studies the moons of Uranus including Cressida, Cupid, Rosalind, Ariel, Oberon, Margaret, and Setebos.
