About this work

P-34615 These three color images of Triton were taken at three different orbital longitudes to show different faces of the neptune moon. the overall pinkish cast of the images may be due to the presence of reddish material on Triton produced by irradiation of methane gas and ice on Triton. In these pictures the south pole is at roughly 6 o'clock, about 1/6th of the way from the bottom. Near the top of the left on Triton's equator are several large dark spots that are probably suface markings.
