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.

Finally a "serious" geological map of Triton:
Triton map "To-date, no peer-reviewed, broad-scale, detailed geologic map exists to characterize, classify, and identify geologic surface units and features on Triton. Mapping of Pluto and Charon is in progress, but as no comparable geologic map of Triton exists, a direct comparison between these two KBOs cannot be performed at a fundamental level. Furthermore, as Triton serves as a bridge between KBOs and icy satellites, characterization of its terrains is important for advancing comparative planetological studies." Can't wait to see the final result. I expect some interesting discoveries, almost 30 years after the voyager II flyby. Best regards, Marc. |
