| Description |
Natural color composite of Neptune imaged by Voyager 2 at 0415UT on August 24, 1989. This composite was taken approximately 24 hours before the spacecraft's closest approach. Three moons, Despina, Galatea, and Larissa are visible. Despina's shadow falls on the planet, creating a short-duration solar eclipse for parts of Neptune's mid-northern latitudes. This composite uses orange, green, violet and blue filter images for color. The moons visible here were pulled from various frames and aligned on their locations at 0415UT. The moons, near Voyager's sensitivity limit with this exposure setting, have been brightened by roughly 10x for visibility. Two other moons, Thalassa and Naiad, were theoretically also visible within the raw data, but well below detection limits. Image Credit: NASA / JPL / Voyager-ISS / Justin Cowart |
