Wonderful re-introduction to the Uranian planetary system by #Astrum with all the latest updates. πͺ
If 18th century astronomers had named this #IceGiant #planet: after the Roman god of the sky instead of the Greek one, then #ElonMusk would be wearing an "Occupy Caelus" T-shirt instead of an "Occupy Mars" T-shirt. π€·

NASA gaat op zoek naar ondergrondse oceanen in de manen van Uranus
Verschillende van de ijsmanen in de Jupiter- en Saturnus-systemen lijken interne vloeibare wateroceanen te hebben. Onze kennis van de manen van Uranus is beperkter maar een toekomstige verkenning van het Uranus-systeem heeft het potentieel om onder

Verschillende van de ijsmanen in de Jupiter- en Saturnus-systemen lijken interne vloeibare wateroceanen te hebben. Onze kennis van de manen van Uranus is beperkter maar een toekomstige verkenning van het Uranus-systeem heeft het potentieel om ondergrondse oceanen te detecteren. Om dit te plannen is inzicht nodig in hoe de interne structuren van de manen ββ¦
This is a simple cylindrical projection of the same mosaic. North is at the top - the northern hemisphere was not illuminated. The equator runs horizontally through the middle. This is the form of map commonly used as input for a variety of mapping and visualization software. #maps #Uranus #Voyager #umbriel

here's a 2017 paper on how it's most likely a cold trap for CO2 (Uranus' moons are also ~90Β° rotated so the equator gets the least Sun)

other Uranian moons"

Next, using GIS I warped the image to fit the target grid, using every grid intersection as a tie point. The image with grid overlay is warped so the grid now matches the target grid. Then repeat that process using the same tie points on the image without the grid, and hey presto, the original image is now in the desired map projection. There are analytical ways to do this but my system was built for odd-shaped worlds with no analytical solution. Here are the results.
