  • Oberon's Axial Tilt: Understanding Uranus' Moon's Extreme Inclination
    The axial tilt of Oberon, a moon of Uranus, is approximately 97.8 degrees.

    This means Oberon is tilted on its side, with its axis of rotation almost perpendicular to its orbital plane. This extreme tilt is a result of a large impact in the past, which likely also caused Oberon's heavily cratered surface.
