Miranda in 3D — live position and orbit

Uranus's smallest major moon, a bizarre patchwork of giant fault canyons and terraced 'racetrack' features up to 20 km deep.

Miranda is shown at its real position, computed from NASA/JPL ephemeris data. The view opens on Miranda; you can travel in time, switch between the educational overview and the true-scale voyage, and compare it with every other body of the solar system.
