A USGS image of Oberon, Uranus' second largest moon, showing its heavily cratered surface. Named after the king of the fairies in Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream," the image is based on data from NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft, the only probe to have explored the Uranian system. The prominent crater Hamlet is visible near the center.
