For the 20th anniversary of the Neptune encounter, I've uploaded the official JPL animation of the flyby to YouTube:

I have very fond memories of watching this clip over and over again as a rather eager 9-year old!

Ian.

Mmm I love this stuff.

I have written a very quick page that uses the solar system simulator to show what Voyager 2 was seeing exactly 20 years ago:

and don't forget, the 30th anniversary of the Pioneer 11 flyby at Saturn is coming up soon as well:

Cool, but I am surprised you left out the Titan encounter.
