Puck
Puck is a mischievous fairy in Shakespeare's Midsummer-Night's Dream.
Discovered by Voyager 2 in 1986.
Of the 10 new Uranian moons discovered by Voyager 2, only Puck was discovered soon enough that the observation schedule could be adjusted to get images.
Puck and Uranus' other small moons are very dark (albedo less than 0.1).
