Belinda

Belinda made its debut in the realm of planetary science when it was discovered on January 13, 1986, during the Voyager 2 spacecraft's momentous flyby of the planet. This moon is characterized by its relatively small size, boasting an estimated diameter of approximately 80 kilometers (50 miles). In terms of its orbital attributes, Belinda maintains a moderate orbit around Uranus and is categorized as an inner moon. What sets it apart is its orbit, which is both inclined and retrograde, signifying that it revolves around Uranus in the opposite direction of the planet's rotation. The precise composition and origins of Belinda remain subjects of ongoing scientific inquiry. However, it is believed to be predominantly composed of water ice and rocky materials, a composition frequently found among many moons in the outer solar system. Its formation may have been the result of gradual material accretion near Uranus, or it could have been associated with capture from more distant regions, such as the Kuiper Belt or the scattered disk. Belinda belongs to the "Belinda Group", a collection of moons sharing similar attributes.
