Ophelia is the outer shepherd moon for Uranus's epsilon ring and its second most distant. The behavior of this moon and it's partner, Cordelia, help support the theory of shepherding. Not much else is known about this tiny satellite other than it was discovered thanks to imagery from Voyager 2 taken at a distance of over four million kilometers.
It was named after Polonius's daughter in Hamlet.
