Above a picture of Belinda (Uranus XIV)from Voyager 2 images from which these satellites were discovered.

Note that these satellites always present the same face to Uranus, as most of the satellites close to giant planets.

Values for Cordelia, Ophelia and Puck are repeated here for comparison.
Satellite 1986 U10 (Perdita U-26) was lost, rediscovered in 1999 by Karkoschka on Voyager 2 images, then lost again and finally found by the HST in 2003 (Showalter and Lissauer).
