The Flag of Oberon
Moon of Uranus
Moon of Uranus
This flag represents Oberon and uses five colours - black, yellow, white, green and red. It is based upon the flag of Electorate of Brunswick-Luneburg which is where astronomer who discovered this moon was born - William Herschel.
Mr. Herschel discovered this moon on January 11, 1787 after he had emigrated the United Kingdom.
In the upper hoist area is a dog ear design with a black field and yellow star. The black represents deep space while the star represents this moon. The colours black, yellow, and white are in honor of the subsequent nation that has cultural claims upon the birthright of person who brought the moon Oberon to our attention in 1787 - William Herschel.
The horse is rotated 90 degrees in reflection of Uranus' highly tilted orbit, which puts this planet and it's moon at a relatively odd angle relative to its orbit.
