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!

Impressive Voyager 2 images and, except for the 1990 Voyager 1 mosaic of the planets, a superb farewell of the Voyager mission to the solar system. Most interesting follow-on was the fact that a JPL-member (Brad Smith I believe) had to be part of the IAU council in the time-consuming job of giving names to the new features on Triton. Real official names, not the JPL names such as "the scooter", for a white cloud around Neptune's South pole ... laugh.gif
