The
colour was reconstructed from images taken through the narrow-angle camera's
violet, clear and green filters. The picture shows features as small as
12 km on the moon's surface. Clearly visible are several large impact craters
in Oberon's icy surface surrounded by bright rays similar to those seen
on Jupiter's moon Callisto. |

Quite
prominent near the center of Oberon's disk is a large crater with a bright
central peak and a floor partially covered with very dark material. This
may be icy, carbon-rich material erupted onto the crater floor sometime
after the crater formed. Another striking topographic feature is a large
mountain, about 6 km high, peeking out on the lower left limb. |
