Neptune from Voyager 2. Color is from images with CH4JS, green and orange filter.
Shadows of three moons are visible. Second image is with possible interpretation. -------------------- |

Really enjoying this thread Machi.
At the time these images were first released I'd been backpacking through Europe for months and had totally forgotten about the Voyager Neptune encounter. One day on the streets of Paris I saw this incredible blue disk staring back at me from a news stand. I remember just standing there staring at it for ages - I just couldn't believe how compelling and unexpected all that atmospheric structure was! Now - back to that last image. Can I see a small bright/dark vortex thingy at the pole? Might we be looking at a miniature version of Saturn's 'evil eye'? P p |
