It was found from the images taken by ''[[Voyager 2]]'' on January 20, 1986, and was given the designation '''S/1986&nbsp;U&nbsp;7'''. It was not seen again until the [[Hubble Space Telescope]] observed it in 1997. Cordelia takes its name from the youngest daughter of Lear in [[William Shakespeare]]'s ''[[King Lear]].'' It is also designated '''Uranus&nbsp;VI'''. This moon is {{convert|148|km|mi}} wide and is the same size of [[Mars]]' smallest moon called Deimos. ==Other websites== *[http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets/profile.cfm?Object=Ura_Cordelia Cordelia Profile] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070609143229/http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets/profile.cfm?Object=Ura_Cordelia |date=2007-06-09 }} by [http://solarsystem.nasa.gov NASA's Solar System Exploration] {{Uranus Footer}} [[Category:Uranus' moons]]
