Neptune from Voyager 2. Color is from images with CH4JS, green and orange filter.

If I am remembering this correctly, when Voyager 2 flew past Triton, Triton was the most distant known object in the solar system. Pluto was near perihelion and closer to the Sun, and the KBOs we know today had not been discovered yet. Triton was beyond Neptune and Nereid was closer to the Sun.
