Neptune_and_Despina-transit_combo_despinabrightened.jpgNeptune and Despina68 visiteDalla Rubrica "NASA - Picture of the Day", del giorno 3 Settembre 2009:"Despina is a tiny moon of Neptune. A mere 148 Km across, diminutive Despina was discovered in 1989, in images from the Voyager 2 Spacecraft taken during its encounter with the Solar System's most distant Gas Giant Planet. But looking through the Voyager 2 data 20 years later, amateur image processor (and philosophy professor) Ted Stryk discovered something no one had recognized before -- images that show the shadow of Despina in transit across Neptune's blue cloud tops.
His composite view of Despina and its shadow is composed of four archival frames taken on August 24, 1989, separated by 9 minutes. Despina itself has been artificially brightened to make it easier to see.
In ancient Greek mythology, Despina is a daughter of Poseidon (the Roman god Neptune)".MareKromium
