| | Uranus, moons |
 | | Two more moons were found by William Lassell in 1851 and named Ariel and Umbriel; G. Kuiper discovered Miranda in 1948. |
 | | In an unusual move, in late 2001, the International Astronomical Union stripped the title of moon from a small body seen in images taken by Voyager and previously reported to be orbiting Uranus. |
 | | It appeared to be in nearly the same orbit as another moon, Belinda, about 75,000 km from Uranus, and, based on its brightness in the Voyager images, to have a diameter of about 40 km. |
