    About this ebook

    Uranus is a planet with a mini solar system of rings and moons. Many of the moons formed with the planet. Some of them were captured later on. Some of the moons shepherd the rings and keep them from drifting apart. Other moons contribute to the rings and may have even created them.
    There are at least 27 moons orbiting Uranus. They are some of the biggest and tiniest moons in our solar system.
    This book looks at some of these moons.
    Do you know:
    Do all the moons rotate the same way around Uranus?
    What are shepherd moons?
    What are many of the moons made of?
    What kind of weather is there on the moons?
    What is Umbriel's cheerio made of?

    Find out the answers to these questions and more and amaze your family and friends with these fun facts.
    Ages 8 and up.
