For the 20th anniversary of the Neptune encounter, I've uploaded the official JPL animation of the flyby to YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdBOZWB3iAI I have very fond memories of watching this clip over and over again as a rather eager 9-year old! Ian. -------------------- |

As promised, here are stills from the new Triton movie. It is a difficult subject to work with, given that topography rarely exceeds half a kilometer. Triton isnt given to the method school of acting I guess. Hence you will not see towering volcanoes and such. Note that it is iPod format!
To see the movie, go to my stereomoons.blogspot.com site. It currently exceeds the 1mb upload limit, although i will see if I can shrink it. NASA Photojournal is also scheduled to post it later today at full resolution. Paul

Most impressive ! Is the altimetry data going to be released in some map format ? I'm thinking that it might be possible to get it into Orbiter Space Flight Simulator for example or at least into Celestia.
