Ariel the name of a fairy in Shakespeare's
The Tempest, who has been rescued from the enchantment of the witch Sycorax by
Prospero and who must serve his new master until he is released; Ariel is the airy spirit who contrasts with the gross and animal
Caliban.
The name was given to a satellite of Uranus discovered in 1851, the twelfth closest to the planet and the fourth largest (diameter 1,160 km), and subsequently to a series of six American and British satellites devoted to studies of the ionosphere and X-ray astronomy (1962–79).
