Titania (moon)

Titania is the largest moon of Uranus, discovered in 1787 by William Herschel. It has a diameter of about 1,578 miles (2,555 kilometers), making it the eighth-largest moon in the solar system. Titania is mostly made of ice and rock, with a surface featuring large canyons, fractures, and some areas of bright frost. Its surface hints at geological activity, including possible past internal heating. Titania orbits Uranus and, like other moons, is kept in place by the planet's gravity. Its intriguing features and composition make it a significant object of study in understanding icy bodies in our solar system.
