Miranda
Miranda is currently about 2,803,577,188 kilometres from Earth, or 18.74 astronomical units, which puts a one-way radio signal 2.6 hours out. It is 19.43 astronomical units from the Sun.
A small moon with a bizarre, jumbled surface of giant cliffs and mismatched terrain, as if shattered and reassembled.
Would be a key flyby target for a future Uranus orbiter.
