About this work
Range : 4.7 million km (2.9 million mi.) Nereid, the last satellite of Neptune to be discovered before Voyager's recent discoveries, was first seen by Gerard Kuiper in 1949. Until this Voyager 2 image was obtained, all that was known about Nereid was its orbital parameters and intrinsic brightness. With a resolution of 43 kilometers (26.6 mi.) per pixel, this image has sufficient detail to show the overall size and albedo.
