Currently, Uranus has 27 known moons. That number is likely to increase as telescopes get better and better. Way back in 1985, we only knew about 5 of the current 27 moons. The most recently discovered moons were Mab, Cupid, and Margaret, and they were discovered in 2003. Of all of the planets in our solar system that have moons, the moons of Uranus are all named by following the same theme. All 27 moons of Uranus are named after either William Shakespeare characters or Alexander Pope characters that appear in The Rape of the Lock. None of the moons are incredibly large. The largest is Titania with a diameter of 981 miles, and the smallest is Cupid with a diameter that spans a mere 11 miles.
