Neptune From the Voyager Spacecraft


This composite illustration is of the planet Neptune, as seen from its moon Triton. Neptune's south pole is to the left; clearly visible in the planets' southern hemisphere is a Great Dark Spot, a large anti-cyclonic storm system. This three-dimensional view was created using images from the Voyager spacecraft.

Oh, that's an awesome picture! The kids and I have been reading a lot about space lately, so I'll show them the picture tomorrow.
