Шаблон:Infobox planet

Desdemona is an inner satellite of Uranus. It was discovered from the images taken by Voyager 2 on 13 January 1986, and was given the temporary designation S/1986 U 6.[1] Desdemona is named after the wife of Othello in William Shakespeare's play Othello. It is also designated Uranus X.[2]

Desdemona belongs to Portia Group of satellites, which also includes Bianca, Cressida, Juliet, Portia, Rosalind, Cupid, Belinda and Perdita.[3] These satellites have similar orbits and photometric properties.[3] Other than its orbit,[4] size of 90 × 54 km[5] and geometric albedo of 0.08[3] virtually nothing is known about Desdemona.

In the Voyager 2 images Desdemona appears as an elongated object, the major axis pointing towards Uranus. The ratio of axes of Desdemona's prolate spheroid is 0.6 ± 0.3.[5] Its surface is grey in color.[5]

Desdemona may collide with one of its neighboring moons Cressida or Juliet within the next 100 million years.[6]
