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.

As a personal story, I was with TPS for Planetfest 89 at the time of Neptune’ flyby. We waited late to see the very first Triton’s pictures. When they came, around 4 am, I was already back in my hotel and discovered them on TV when I woke up. At that time, I was allowed to enter JPL’s reception and check TV screens and get a feeling of the place. We had scientist, no less than Ed Stone himself, giving the last news and picture at the TPS event.
You’re not only resurrecting a thread Nick, but also good memories. At that time, we hopped VII would survive for another 35 years, we’re close to it. Both Voyagers were launched the year I started working…and I retired 5 years ago. -------------------- |
