Ariel
Voyager 2 image of Uranus' satellite Ariel taken through the clear filter from a distance of 130,000 km. Ariel's surface displays heavily cratered areas, complex rifts, and smooth plains, indicating a complicated tectonic history. This image has a resolution of 2.4 km and shows the southern portion of the 1,160 km diameter satellite. At the lower left is the 71 km diameter crater, Domovoy, centered at 72 S, 340 E. North is at 1:00. (Voyager 2, FDS 2684535, P-29511 B/W)
