Literary Moons [1]

The two largest moons of Uranus, Oberon (left) and Titania, are named for characters from "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Their features are named for characters from other plays by Shakespeare and others. These are the best images of both moons, snapped by Voyager 2 in 1986. [NASA/JPL]
