Neptune and Triton
|
Caption NASA originale:"This image was returned by the Voyager 2 spacecraft on July 3, 1989, when it was 76 MKM from Neptune. The planet and its largest satellite, Triton, are captured in the field of view of Voyager's narrow-angle camera through violet, clear and orange filters. Triton appears in the lower right corner at about 5 o'clock relative to Neptune.
Recent measurements from Voyager images show Triton to be between 1.400 and 1.800 Km in radius with a surface that is about as bright as freshly fallen snow".
