Oberon (moon) toward the planet. Oberon spends a significant part of its orbit outside the Uranian magnetosphere. As a result, its surface is directly struck by the solar wind. This is important, because the trailing hemispheres of satellites orbiting inside a magnetosphere are struck by the magnetospheric plasma, which co–rotates with the planet. This bombardment may lead to the darkening of the trailing hemispheres, which is actually observed for all Uranian moons except Oberon (see below). Because Uranus orbits the Sun almost on its side, and its moons orbit in the planet's equatorial plane, they (including Oberon) are subject to an extreme
Dysnomia (moon) pronounces the same as his wife's nickname, Di. Because of this, Brown pronounces the full name , with a long "y". Dysnomia serves as the extraterrestrial origin of the alien antagonist in the independent horror/comedy short film, "Skinhead Junkies From Dysnomia". Dysnomia (moon) Dysnomia (Greek: "Δυσνομία")—officially (136199) Eris I Dysnomia—is the only known moon of the dwarf planet Eris (the most massive known dwarf planet in the Solar System). It was discovered in 2005 by Mike Brown and the laser guide star adaptive optics team at the W. M. Keck Observatory, and carried the provisional designation of until officially named
