Surface features Map of Umbriel showing polygons Umbriel's surface is the darkest of the Uranian moons, and reflects less than half as much light as Ariel, a sister satellite of similar size.
After the end of formation, the subsurface layer cooled, while the interior of Umbriel heated due to decay of radioactive elements present in its rocks.
Among Uranian moons Umbriel was least subjected to endogenic resurfacing processes, although it may like other Uranian moons have experienced a very early resurfacing event.
Another possible source is the outgassing of the primordial CO 2 trapped by water ice in Umbriel's interior.
At the time of the flyby the southern hemisphere of Umbriel (like those of the other moons) was pointed towards the Sun, so the northern (dark) hemisphere could not be studied.
Because Uranus orbits the Sun almost on its side, and its moons orbit in the planet's equatorial plane, they (including Umbriel) are subject to an extreme seasonal cycle.
Currently there is no explanation for why Umbriel is so dark and uniform in appearance.
Exploration The Voyager 2 spacecraft further So far the only close-up images of Umbriel have been from the Voyager 2 probe, which photographed the moon during its flyby of Uranus in January 1986.
High past orbital eccentricities associated with the (1:3) Umbriel-Miranda and (1:4) Titania-Ariel resonances may have led to tidal heating of the interiors of Miranda and Ariel, citation respectively.
However, the maximum heating attributable to the resonance with Umbriel was likely about three times greater.
In fact, among the Uranian moons only Oberon has more impact craters than Umbriel.
In other words, Umbriel is a synchronous or tidally locked satellite, with one face always pointing toward its parent planet.
Miranda's past geologic activity is thought to have been driven by tidal heating at a time when its orbit was more eccentric than currently, probably as a result of a former 3:1 orbital resonance with Umbriel.
Miranda's past geological activity is believed to have been driven by tidal heating during the time when it was in orbital resonance with Umbriel.
Much like other moons of Uranus, the surface of Umbriel is cut by a system of canyons trending northeast–southwest.
No other spacecraft has ever visited Uranus (and Umbriel), and no mission to Uranus and its moons are planned.
Study of limb profiles of Umbriel revealed a possible very large impact feature having the diameter of about 400 km and depth of approximately 5 km.
The pressure in the center of Umbriel is about 0.24 GPa (2.4 kbar ).
The surface of Umbriel is relatively homogeneous—it does not demonstrate strong variation in either albedo or color.
The surface of Umbriel is slightly blue in color, while fresh bright impact deposits (in Wunda crater, for instance) are even bluer.
