Triton: Neptune’s Largest Moon
Voyager 2’s 1989 flyby captured the closest-ever images of Triton, Neptune’s largest moon, passing within roughly 25,000 miles (40 km). The high‑resolution shot shows dozens of dark plumes up to 100 miles (160 km) long erupting from several‑mile‑wide vents, while a wider view taken from 330,000 miles (530 km) provides context for the region. Scientists interpret the plumes as nitrogen‑rich eruptions driven by seasonal heating of shallow volatile deposits, with winds redistributing dark material across the polar terrain. Only about 40 % of Triton’s surface has been imaged, leaving most of its geology a mystery.
