Miranda
Miranda is currently about 2,908,305,153 kilometres from Earth, or 19.44 astronomical units, which puts a one-way radio signal 2.7 hours out. It is 19.44 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.
