​​The smallest and innermost of Uranus' moons, Miranda is only 500 kilometers in diameter, which is only one seventh the size of the Earth's moon. Miranda was discovered in 1948 by Gerard P. Kuiper and shows unique and unusual features that evolutionists have trouble explaining. These include a variety of different types of features such as strips of rugged terrain in addition to craters, canyons, and cliffs up to 20 kilometers tall. How can a moon so small support tectonic activity? Some evolutionists propose that Miranda was shattered by an impact and reassembled up to five times until the present moon was formed. Other evolutionists reject this idea and say that a small moon like Miranda could not survive such collisions. So there is disagreement among evolutionists and mainstream scientists about the formation of Miranda. Despite its rugged surface features, Miranda is a near spherical moon and explanations of reconstruction after five impact collisions are difficult. Miranda is another example of a planetary body defying naturalistic evolutionist theories and seems to comply more closely with the creationist model. NASA's Voyager 2 space probe provided more detailed information about this moon in 1986.
