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. -------------------- |

Nice new pictures of Neptune by Hubble, confirming a new Dark Spot with its bright companion in the southern hemisphere !
Reminds me the great time of Voyager 2 flyby. Even if these Hubble images do not have the Voyager 2 resolution, they are quite good and confirm that great science could be made from Earth orbit ! Can't wait the first planetary views from JWST... and from a Neptune-dedicated mission (?) http://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2016/h...spot-on-neptune Regards, Marc. |
