I was just wondering if someone has "super enhanced" the Voyager 2 images of Neptune's largest moon Triton and made them available to the public? I've read about and seen it done on Voyager images of Saturn's moons. Considering there won't be an orbiter going to Neptune being launched for a long time, this could be very worth while idea.

hi guys,
thanks for the nice words. more new maps in a few weeks! i also have the Triton high-res mosaic, which is almost done. Ive updated the blog but wanted to point out that the map format is perfect for dropping into google earth or similar thing. also the contrast is stretch a little bit but the color is not differentially enhanced. the contrast stretch brings out some of the color differences a little bit more. can't wait to put the pluto map next to it next year. p -------------------- Dr. Paul Schenk, Lunar and Planetary Institute, Houston TX

....can't wait to put the pluto map next to it next year. Oh hello there Dr Shank. =) Yes I really would like to see a comparison between those two also to see if they show any signs of having a common origin. I always have considered Triton to have been captured by Neptune even when the ejection hypothesis were the more popular one. A little bit OT for this thread yet some expect Charon to show an interesting surface as well I am a bit pessimistic about that idea, but then again our own moon have recently been found to have a molten core even found today despite the fact it got bound rotation so it might be best never to say never to tidal heating. =) |
