While most planet satellites orbiting planets in our solar system are named from Greek mythology, the majority of Uranus’ moons pay homage to Shakespearean characters. Miranda, Uranus’ innermost satellite, gets its name from the daughter of Prospero in Shakespeare’s “The Tempest”. Miranda is considered to have one of the most unique and varied landscapes among extraterrestrial bodies in our solar system, including giant fault canyons 12 times deeper than the Grand Canyon.

- All art work is handmade by Robert Wiener in the DC Art Glass Studio. Kilnforming is a method of shaping glass in a kiln using heat and gravity. Techniques used by the artist include fusing, slumping, casting, printmaking and coldworking. It is common of kilnformed glass to have slight color shifts and small "champagne" bubbles.
