Cupid is an inner satellite of Uranus . It was discovered by Mark R. Showalter and Jack J. Lissauer in 2003 using the Hubble Space Telescope .[6] William Shakespeare 's play Timon of Athens [7]
It is the smallest known inner Uranian satellite (apart from possibly Mab ), crudely estimated to be only about 18 km in diameter. This and the dark surface made it too dim to be detected by the Voyager 2
The orbit of Cupid differs only by 863 km from the orbit of the larger moon Belinda . Unlike Mab and Perdita , Uranian satellites also discovered in 2003, it does not seem to be perturbed .[2] [5]
Cupid is at most 500 million years old.[3]
Following its discovery, Cupid was given the temporary designation S/2003 U 2 .[6] Uranus XXVII .[7]
It should not be confused with the asteroid 763 Cupido .
