Wunda (crater)
7°54′S 273°36′E / 7.9°S 273.6°E[1]
Wunda is a large crater on the surface of Uranus' moon Umbriel.[2] It is 131 km in diameter and is located near the equator of Umbriel.
Wunda has a bright floor, which takes the shape of a ring of bright material at least 10 km wide.[3] The reason for its brightness, which stands out from the very dark composition of the moon as a whole, is unknown.[2]
The crater named after Wunda, a dark spirit of Indigenous Australian aboriginal mythology.[1]
