     • Triton was the last solid object visited by the Voyager 2 spacecraft on its epic 10-year tour of the outer solar system. Voyager mapped only the hemisphere that faces Neptune, but revealed a very young surface scarred by rising blobs of ice (diapirs), faults, and volcanic pits and lava flows composed of water and other ices.

   Aug 6, 2020 · Even though only 40% of Triton’s surface was imaged during Voyager 2’s flyby, it was immediately apparent that Triton is home to a variety of geological processes. Furthermore, the relatively fresh morphologies, low density of impact craters, and the observation of plumes, indicated that Triton is a geologically active small body.

   five-mile-tall, geyser-like plume of dark material has been discovered erupting from the surface of Neptune's moon Triton in one of the images returned last month to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., by NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft.

   High-resolution view of Triton's surface from Voyager 2 On its closest approach to Triton on August 25, 1989, Voyager snapped several high-resolution mosaics. Triton is considered to be a Kuiper belt object that was captured into Neptune orbit, an event that would have heated it and altered its surface through cryovolcanism.

   High resolution Voyager 2 image of Triton's northern hemisphere This is one of the most detailed views of the surface of Triton taken by Voyager 2 on its flyby of the large satellite of Neptune early in the morning of Aug. 25, 1989. The picture was stored on the tape recorder and relayed to Earth later.

   Did Voyager 2 detect ice on Triton?

   • Before Voyager 2’s encounter with the Neptunian system, ground-based observations using infrared telescopes had detected CH 4 (methane) and N 2 (molecular nitrogen) ices on the surface of Triton (Cruikshank and Silvaggio, 1979, Astrophys J 233, 1016-1020; Cruikshank et al., 1984, Icarus 58, 293-305).

   Will Voyager 2 reach Triton?

   • Together with its primary (Neptune), Triton is slowly traveling toward perihelion (its closest distance from the Sun), which it will reach on 3 September 2042. Therefore, when Voyager 2 approached Triton, it was farther from the Sun than it is now (Fig. 2), which would make it logical to expect warming.

   Is Triton a geologically active place?

   • The surface of Triton is very rugged, scarred by rising blobs of ice, faults and volcanic pits and lava flows composed of water and other ices. The surface is also extremely young and sparsely cratered, and could be geologically active today.
