Puck

Puck — moon orbiting Uranus, explore its interactive 3D model in Cosmoscope.

Explore Puck in a live 3D Solar System. Follow its calculated motion and inspect real astronomical data, distances and orbital facts.

Voyager 2 found Puck weeks before its 1986 flyby and took the only close-up: a dark, roughly round, cratered moon. It is the biggest of the small moons that crowd inside Miranda’s orbit.

Explore Puck in 3D

Cosmoscope places Puck in the Solar System using astronomical ephemeris or orbital elements, updated for the simulation time. Explore its calculated motion, distance and orbital facts in the interactive 3D view. Accuracy depends on the orbital model and its valid time range.
