    Aug 6, 2020 · Voyager 2’s observations exposed its icy surface, at equilibrium with a tenuous atmosphere, measuring a pressure of just 14 micro-bar (McKinnon and Kirk, 2014, In: Encyclopedia of the Solar System, pp. 861-881). Images showed a variety of morphologies consistent with recent geological activity.

    Voyager photographed two-thirds of Neptune’s largest moon Triton, revealing the coldest known planetary body in the solar system and a nitrogen ice “volcano” on its surface. Spectacular images of its southern hemisphere showed a strange, pitted, cantaloupe-type terrain.

    Feb 16, 2000 · Voyager 2 obtained this parting shot of Triton, Neptune's largest satellite, shortly after closest approach to the moon and passage through its shadow on the morning of Aug. 25, 1989. The distance to Triton was 90,000 kilometers (56,000 thousand miles) and the phase angle was 155 degrees, so that only a thin crescent of Triton's south polar ...
