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
Oberon (operating system) PC-Native Oberon. Other versions of the Oberon System, i.e. without "Native" in the name, had partially modified interfaces of low level modules. In 2015 Peter Matthias revitalized LNO under the Name OLR (Oberon Linux Revival) as a multi-platform Distribution running seamlessly under Intel x86, RISC-V, MIPS, and ARM. It runs nicely on the Raspberry Pi and on the inexpensive CHIP computer; with some tweaking (adjusting group membership or/and permissions on some devices) it runs nicely under Tiny Core Linux. OLR interfaces with Linux kernel by direct System calls. OLR currently (mid 2017) misses a network layer. In 2013 Niklaus Wirth
