About Ophelia
A tiny moon of Uranus that acts as an outer shepherd for the Epsilon ring. Its gravity, together with Cordelia, keeps the ring narrow and bright. Discovered by Voyager 2 in 1986. One of the smallest named moons of Uranus. Its orbit is slowly evolving through interactions with the ring. Named after the tragic heroine of Shakespeares Hamlet.
