IMAGE 100_199\120.Lbm,The beautiful blue world of Neptune, spied by Voyager 2 in July 1989. Visible on the disc are wisps of cloud and a Great Dark Spot.
IMAGE 200_299\251.Lbm,Voyager 2 found Neptune a surprisingly colourful world, with unexpected weather systems.
IMAGE 200_299\252.Lbm,Like Jupiter's Great Red Spot, Neptune's cloud-flecked Great Dark Spot is probably a huge storm centre (Voyager 2 photo).
IMAGE 200_299\253.Lbm,Voyager 2's cameras picked out cloud shadows on lower layers of Neptune's atmosphere when it swooped to within a few thousand kilometres of the planet.
IMAGE 200_299\254.Lbm,Two rings and two new moons are visible in this Voyager 2 picture taken during the Neptune encounter. Voyager discovered six new moons in all.
IMAGE 200_299\255.Lbm,Neptune's moon Triton proves to have a pinkish colour, and is probably covered with frozen methane and nitrogen snow (Voyager 2 photo).
IMAGE 200_299\256.Lbm,This basin on Neptune's moon Triton was probably formed by the eruption of ice volcanoes (Voyager 2 photo).
IMAGE 200_299\260.Lbm,The gas giants Uranus and Neptune dwarf our own planet Earth.
IMAGE 600_699\607.Lbm,The full disc of Neptune, pictured by Voyager 2 in August 1989, showing the Great Dark Spot and wispy clouds.
IMAGE 600_699\624.Lbm,Two Voyager 2 images of different halves of Neptune's ring system. There are two bright rings and a third closer in to the planet. There is also a faint band between the two bright rings.
IMAGE 900_999\926.Lbm,The planet Neptune and (arrowed) the two moons that can be seen from Earth. Closest in is the largest moon, Triton.
IMAGE 900_999\928.Lbm,Neptune, its moons and its rings, pictured in relief by computer-processing a telescope image recorded electronically by a CCD (charge-coupled device).
