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.

Amazing image, although I hope the EELTs will do better (and faster than the next ice giant mission).

Although orbiters are badly needed to both, I wonder if cheaper New Horizons-like flybys might not be more likely
as long as there is suitable geometry for a subsequent large (spherical) TNO flyby after? So many are binaries you'd
get quite a lot of bang for the buck.
