Verona Rupes is a cliff on Miranda, a moon of Uranus.^[1] The cliff has been estimated at 5 kilometers (3 mi)^[2] and 20 kilometers (12.4 mi)^[3] high, making it the tallest known cliff in the solar system.^[4] It may have been created by a major impact, which caused the moon to disrupt and reassemble,^[1]^[4] or by the crust rifting.^[5]
