Juliet "(jew'-lee-ət," IPAEng|ˈdʒuliət, or "jew'-lee-et'," IPA|/ˌdʒuliˈɛt/) is an inner satellite of Uranus. It was discovered from the images taken by "Voyager 2" on 1986-01-03, and was given the temporary designation S/1986 U 2. [cite web|last=Smith|first = B. A.|title=IAU Circular No. 4164|date=January 16 1986|url= http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/iauc/04100/04164.html#Item1|accessdate=2006-08-06] It is named after the heroine of William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet". It is also designated Uranus XI.cite web|title=Planet and Satellite Names and Discoverers|work=Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature|publisher= USGS Astrogeology|date=July 21 2006|url=http://planetarynames.wr.usgs.gov/append7.html|accessdate=2006-08-06]

Juliet belongs to Portia Group of satellites, which also includes Bianca, Cressida, Desdemona, Portia, Rosalind, Cupid, Belinda and Perdita. These satellites have similar orbits and photometric properties. Unfortunately, other than its orbit, radius of 53 km and geometric albedo of 0.08 virtually nothing is known about it.

At the Voyager 2 images Juliet appears as an elongated object, the major axis pointing towards Uranus. The ratio of axises of the Juliet's prolate spheroid is 0.5 ± 0.3, which is rather an extreme value. Its surface is grey in color.

Juliet may collide with Desdemona within the next 100 million years.cite journal
