Miranda, a small moon of Uranus, appears to have been shattered by a massive collision billions of years ago and then reassembled by gravity, resulting in its chaotic appearance with the tallest known cliff in the solar system (Verona Rupes, nearly 20 km high).

The Strangest Moon of Uranus? ๐ณ #space #universe #galaxy #blackhole #astronomy #cosmic #scienceAdded:
Miranda is one of the weirdest moons in our solar system.
And it looks like it was shattered apart and rebuilt. [music] This tiny moon of Uranus has the tallest known cliff in the solar system, Verona Rupes, nearly 20 km high. Scientists think Miranda may have been destroyed by a massive collision billions of years ago.
Then gravity pulled the pieces back together. That could explain why Miranda looks so chaotic, [music] like multiple worlds stitched into one.
