The eleventh of Uranus' moons is the world Miranda. Miranda is a very interesting world. It is made up half of rocky material, and half of ice. In one place Miranda has a huge cliff that is 5 km high. Miranda was discovered in 1948 by Kuiper. This icy world was named after a daughter of the magician Prospero in Shakespeare's The Tempest.
