Daphnis is a small moon of Saturn, discovered in 2005. It is named after a character from Greek mythology, specifically a shepherd who was associated with the pastoral and the nature of love. Daphnis is particularly notable for its role in the structure of Saturn's rings. Daphnis is located within the Keeler Gap, a division in Saturn's outer A-ring, and its gravitational influence helps to maintain the sharp edges of this gap.
