The Moon with the highest cliff in the solar system

The moon of Uranus Miranda is the most tortuous Planetary body or object of the solar system that exists, a moon of Uranus is about 570 km in diameter and the latest research says that Miranda could have an ocean up to 100 kilometers thick or that it it may have had, but it has largely frozen, although it may retain some areas of water.


The thing is doubtful, the researchers say that it had it and that it should at least preserve areas of water, this Moon has a dark area in the center of the image is the Verona cliff, which is a long fault that reaches between five and 10 km high, it is the highest cliff in the solar system, unfortunately we are not seeing this entire cliff, it may even be higher because what we see, what we know about this moon is what we see here and it is the image that was taken The Voyayer 2 space probe is the only one that has visited this planet and its system and the photo was taken in passing, that is, we do not see the other part of the moon unfortunately.

The moon is basically a frozen ice moon, it has a rocky core, it is 470 km in diameter and an icy crust. Researchers say that at one time it even had a subsurface ocean under the icy coast up to 100 km thick, but that the moon was cooling, although not enough and may still have water under the surface, it would be another small world similar to Enceladus and therefore also another small world that could have life inside.


It is a shame that we do not have the complete image, we only have the image shown of a flyby, Voyager 2 did not orbit it, it did not orbit the moon and therefore we do not have the other side that can be just as tortuous or more, for me It looks like a white cranberry.


The definition of a moon is an object that orbits a planet, but the term world is usually used to talk about those objects that have a lot of activity in this case, and Miranda can have impressive geological activity, you see it has few craters which means that its surface is quite young and then it has a lot of mountains, valleys, brutal cliffs, it has a brutal geological activity that is why Pluto is also another small world because we know that it also has mountains, it has plains, it has areas that may at the time They were even liquid inside.
