Our Ariels

Have you seen the names of the moons of the planet Uranus? 

Cordelia, Ophelia, Bianca, Cressida, Desdemona, Juliet, Portia, Rosalind, Belinda, Puck, Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, Oberon, Caliban, Sycorax, Prospero, Setebos, Stephano, Trinculo...

They're all from Shakespeare's plays, and quite a few are from The Tempest. Can you spot them?

Well, as we have not one Ariel in our version of the play but twelve, we thought we would return the favour and name them after planets, moons and other space features. Here they are:


 Titan
Calypso
Pluto
Europa
Proteus
Zenith / Harpy
Radio
Moon
Triton
