Ariel
The fourth largest and the brightest moon of Uranus. Ariel is the 15th moon in order from the planet.

Uranus I
Ariel ("AIR ee el") is the twelfth of Uranus's known satellites: orbit: 190,930 km from Uranus diameter: 1158 km mass: 1.27e21 kg ...
Ariel's composition is roughly 70% ices (water ice, carbon dioxide ice, and possibly methane ices) and 30% silicate rock, and it appears to have regions of fresh frost in places, particularly in the ejecta radiating from young impact craters.

Uranus I
Ariel [AIR-ee-al] is a relatively small satellite and is the brightest moon of Uranus.
Ariel V was launched into a low inclination (2.8 degrees) orbit from the San Marco launch platform in the Indian Ocean on 15 October 1974. The mission was a British-USA collaboration.

Umbriel's heavily catered surface gives scientists a lot of information about this world. It means that Umbriel has not been resurfaced for a long time, probably since it was first formed.

ARIEL
Ariel is the brightest and one of the largest of the 18 moons of . It is a moon with many long rift valleys, canyons, and craters. It has a diameter of 720 miles (1158 km) and orbits Uranus at a mean distance of 120,000 miles (190,930 km).
Ariel (NASA Thesaurus / NASA SP-7, 1965) A satellite of Uranus orbiting at a mean distance of 192,000 kilometers. Ariel 5 satellite (NASA Thesaurus) One in a series of artificial satellites launched for Britain by the United States.
Prior to 1986, only five of Uranus's natural satellites were known: Titania, the largest, and Oberon were discovered by Herschel in 1787; Ariel and Umbriel, by William Lassell in 1851; and Miranda, by Gerard Kuiper in 1948.
The next two, Umbriel and Ariel, were found in 1851 by the British astronomer William Lassell (1799-1880).
With the same instrument, he further detected, on the 19th of September 1848, Hyperion, the seventh of Saturn's attendants, and, on the 24th of October 1851, Ariel and Umbriel, the interior moons of Uranus.
Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon states that the "occupation" of Palestinian territories is "a terrible thing for Israel and for the Palestinians" and "can't continue endlessly.
British astronomer William Lassell found the next largest, Ariel and Umbriel, in 1851. Gerard Kuiper found the smallest, Miranda, in 1948.
In contrast, Titania and Ariel have far fewer craters in the large size range (50- to 100-kilometre diameter) but have comparable numbers in the smaller size ranges.
The five main satellites are Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania and Oberon. The Uranian satellite system is the least massive among the gas giants; indeed, the combined mass of the five major satellites would be less than half that of Triton alone.
Literary Moons: Titania, Oberon, Ariel, and Umbriel
For a man who made his reputation by counting and plotting the locations of thousands of stars, astronomer John Herschel had a poetic heart. In 1851, he named the four largest moons of Uranus.
Miranda and Ariel orbit closest to the giant planet; Miranda is the smallest at 470 km (290 miles) in diameter with the innermost orbit, while Ariel is more than twice as big at 1,160 km (720 miles) and nearly the same size as Umbriel.
Ariel and Umbriel both appear to be the same size, yet Ariel's surface shows evidence of ice volcanism and tectonics, while Umbriel's surface is just full of craters.
The name was suggested by "Ariel," which is also the name of a magical spirit which, together with Miranda, her father Prospero and near-human Caliban, ...
Two further moons were discovered by the British astronomer William Lassell in 1851 and named Ariel and Umbriel, after characters in Alexander Pope's Rape of the Lock.
Ariel and Umbriel are each about 1200 kilometres in diameter but have very different surfaces. Ariel shows signs of geological activity on a large scale with evidence for liquid flows.
The moons Umbriel and Ariel each are about 75O miles in diameter. In NASA's 1986 pictures at right, Voyager 2 was about 346,000 miles from Umbriel.

Uranus has 27 known moons. The names for these moons are chosen from characters from the works of Shakespeare and Alexander Pope. The five main satellites are Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania and Oberon.
An ASM measures the intensity of many sources across the sky and looks for new sources. Many high-energy satellites have carried ASM detectors, including the ASM on Vela 5B, Ariel V, and the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer.
