Introduction
Oberon, the outermost moon of Uranus, a moon that also goes by the name Uranus IV, is the second largest and second most massive moon of the planet Uranus. Oberon is also ninth place for most massive moon in The Solar System. In fact, Oberon has a mass of (3.076±0.087)×1021 kilograms. Oberon also has a volume of 1,849,000,000 kilometer cubed, a surface area of 7,285,000 kilometers squared, a radius of 761.4±2.6 kilometers, and a density of 1.63±0.05 gram per centimeter cubed. The surface temperature of Oberon is 70 Kelvin to 80 Kelvin or -203.15 degrees Celsius to -193.15 degrees Celsius. Oberon has an orbital period of 13.463234 Earth Days with an average orbital speed of 3.15 kilometers per second. The Surface gravity of Oberon has a surface gravity of 0.346 meters per second squared and an escape velocity of 0.727 kilometers per second. Profile of Oberon Oberon was discovered on January 11th, 1787 by German-Born British Astronomer William Herschel who discovered it on the same day he discovered Titania. Oberon was named after Oberon, The King of The Fairies, in English Poets William Shakespeare's play A MidSummer Night's Dream. Behind Umbriel, Oberon is the second darkest moon of Uranus and its surface is the color red with blue within the newer impact deposits. Oberon has nine known crater, whose names are Ceasar(Julius Caesar), Romeo(Romeo & Juliet), Antony(Mark Antony), Hamlet, Macbeth, Lear(King Lear), Othello, Coriolanus & Falstaff. The belief in the formation of Oberon is that of a sub nebula beginning; an accelerated disc of gas and dust orbiting Uranus and forming into Oberon and other Uranian moons.
