This montage of images of the Uranian system was prepared from an assemblage of images taken by the Voyager 2 spacecraft during its Uranus encounter in January 1986. This artist's view shows Ariel in the foreground, Uranus rising behind, Umbriel off to the left, Miranda in the foreground to the right, Titania fading in the distance at the far right, and Oberon in its distant orbit at the top.
