Print this page: File > Print > OK PLANETS - URANUS' SATELLITE DATA This table updated on 01/11/03. Satellites are listed in order of increasing distance from Uranus. The table has been broken up into groups of 10 to aid reading the data. Data adopted from NASA Space Science Data Centre/Goddard Spaceflight Centre tables and other sources. To save you counting, there are 25 moons... so far... at the moment. ORBITAL PARAMETERS

Several recently discovered Uranian moons had been given temporary numbers but the I.A.U has now assigned names to them as follows... XV = S/1985 U1 = Puck. XII = S/1986 U1 = Portia. XI = S/1986 U2 = Juliet. IX = S/1986 U3 = Cressida. XIII = S/1986 U4 = Rosalind. XIV = S/1986 U5 = Belinda. X = S/1986 U6 = Desdemona. VI = S/1986 U7 = Cordelia. VII = S/1986 U8 = Ophelia. VIII = S/1986 U9 = Bianca. XVI = S/1997 U1 = Caliban. XVII = S/1997 U2 = Sycorax. XIX = S/1999 U1 = Setebos. XX = S/1999 U2 = Stephano. XVIII = S/1999 U3 = Prospero. XXI = S/2001 U1 = Trinculo.
