   Aug 26, 2019 · Despite Triton’s frigid -392o F surface temperature, Voyager’s images revealed evidence of geysers spewing dark material into the moon’s tenuous atmosphere that deposited back onto the surface. Voyager passed behind both Neptune and Triton, with instruments returning data about their atmospheres.

   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).

   When did Voyager 2 reach Triton?

   • Models (Trafton, 1984, Icarus 58, 312-324) indicate that Voyager 2 approached Triton when the subsolar point was in the southern hemisphere and migrating southward, eventually reaching its southernmost latitude (-50°) in the year 2000, before starting its northward journey (Holler et al., 2016, Icarus 267, 255-266).

    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.
