This photo was taken by NASA Voyager 2 wide-angle camera. Light at methane wavelengths is mostly absorbed in the deeper atmosphere. The bright, white feature is a high-altitude cloud just south of the Great Dark Spot.

NASA Voyager spacecraft was 8.6 million kilometers 5.3 million miles from Neptune when it took this 61 second exposure through the clear filter with the narrow angle camera on August 19, 1989.
Ver en NASA ↗Intriguing patterns of unknown origin appeared on the surface of Neptune largest satellite, Triton, in this image returned by NASA Voyager 2 on Aug. 22, 1989. Voyager images showed that Triton is one of the brightest objects in the solar system,
Ver en NASA ↗These two 591-second exposures of the rings of Neptune were taken with the clear filter by the NASA Voyager 2 wide-angle camera on Aug. 26, 1989. The two main rings are clearly visible and appear complete over the region imaged.
Ver en NASA ↗Using powerful ground-and space-based NASA telescopes, scientists have obtained a moving look at some of the wildest, weirdest weather in the solar system.
Ver en NASA ↗Nereid, the last satellite of Neptune to be discovered before NASA Voyager discoveries in 1989, was first seen by Gerard Kuiper in 1949.
Ver en NASA ↗This composite view from NASA Voyager 2 shows Neptune on Triton horizon. The foreground in this computer generated view of Triton maria as they would appear from a point approximately 45 km above the surface.
Ver en NASA ↗This Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera 3 image of Uranus, taken in November 2018, reveals a vast, bright stormy cloud cap across the planet's north pole. Credits: NASA, ESA, A. Simon (NASA Goddard Space Flight Center), and M.H. Wong and A. Hsu (Univer…
Ver en NASA ↗NASA Voyager 2 acquired this black and white image of Triton, Neptune largest satellite, during the night of Aug. 24-25, 1989. Triton limb cuts obliquely across the middle of the image. The field of view is about 1,000 km 600 miles across.
Ver en NASA ↗This photograph shows the last face on view of the Great Dark Spot that NASA's Voyager made with its narrow angle camera.
Ver en NASA ↗In this image from NASA Voyager wide-angle image taken on Aug. 23 1989, the two main rings of Neptune can be clearly seen. In the lower part of the frame the originally announced ring arc, consisting of three distinct features, is visible.
Ver en NASA ↗This is an artist's concept of the tiny moon Hippocamp that was discovered by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2013. Only 20 miles across, it may actually be a broken-off fragment from a much larger neighboring moon, Proteus, seen as a crescent in the background…
Ver en NASA ↗Features as small as 100 km 62 miles across can be seen in this color image of Neptune satellite Triton, photographed by NASA Voyager 2 on Aug. 20, 1989, while it was still 5.4 million km 3.3 million miles from Neptune.
Ver en NASA ↗NASA Voyager 2 spacecraft flew by Triton, a moon of Neptune, on August 25, 1989. This frame from a video using Voyager data recreates that exciting encounter.
Ver en NASA ↗This image of Neptune satellite 1989N1 was obtained by NASA Voyager 2 on Aug. 25, 1989 from a range of 146,000 kilometers 91,000 miles.

Ver en NASA ↗This artist's illustration shows the newfound planet K2-288Bb is slightly smaller than Neptune.
Ver en NASA ↗P-34675 Range : 5.9 million km. ( 3.6 million miles ) Orbital Speed : 40,000 km/hr. or 25,000 mi/hr. The most recently discovered satellites of Neptune, 1989N5 and 1989N6, are shown in this Voyager 2 image. Their high orbital speed, in combination with the …
Ver en NASA ↗Voyager 2 was the first spacecraft to observe the planet Neptune and its two satellites: Triton, the largest, and Nereid. The most obvious feature of the planet is its blue color, the result of methane in the atmosphere. Research continues on Neptune's two la…
Ver en NASA ↗This view of the volcanic plains of Neptune moon Triton was produced using topographic maps derived from images acquired by NASA Voyager spacecraft during its August 1989 flyby, 20 years ago this week.

Ver en NASA ↗Part of the complex geologic history of icy Triton, Neptune largest satellite, is shown in this NASA Voyager 2 photo. The photo was received as part of a Triton-mapping sequence in 1989.
Ver en NASA ↗NASA Voyager 2 obtained this parting shot of Triton, Neptune largest satellite, shortly after closest approach to the moon and passage through its shadow on the morning of Aug. 25, 1989.
Ver en NASA ↗NASA Voyager 2 spacecraft flew by Triton, a moon of Neptune, in the summer of 1989. Dr. Paul Schenk, a scientist at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, used Voyager data to construct the best-ever global color map of Triton.
