About this work

P-34717 Range: 80,000 kilometers (50,000 miles) This image taken by Voyager 2 of Neptune's largest satellite, Triton, shows an area in the northern hemisphere. The Sun is just above the horizon, so features cast shadows that accentuate height differences. The large, smooth area in the right-hand side of the image shows a single, fresh, impact crater. Otherwise there is no evidence of impacts such as those that have pocked the faces of most of the satellites Voyager 2 has visited.
