Neptune, Voyager 2 image

Neptune. Neptune is a gas giant, composed mostly of hydrogen and helium with some methane. Seen at centre is the Great Dark Spot, thought to be a hole in the methane cloud deck of Neptune, accompanied by bright, white, high-altitude clouds. This image was reconstructed from two images (one through a green filter and one through an orange filter), taken by the narrow-angle camera aboard the Voyager 2 spacecraft in August 1989

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic beauty of Neptune, one of the gas giants in our solar system. Composed mostly of hydrogen and helium with traces of methane, Neptune's atmosphere is a mesmerizing blend of swirling clouds and mysterious formations. At the center of this image lies the enigmatic Great Dark Spot, believed to be a hole in Neptune's methane cloud deck. Surrounding it are bright, white high-altitude clouds that add an ethereal touch to the planet's atmosphere. Taken by Voyager 2 spacecraft in August 1989, this composite image was reconstructed from two separate images captured through green and orange filters. The result is a stunning portrayal that captures both the vibrant colors and intricate details present on Neptune's surface. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of humanity's insatiable curiosity about space and our place within it. It serves as a testament to our relentless pursuit of knowledge and understanding about distant celestial bodies like Neptune. This image not only represents scientific progress but also evokes a sense of wonderment at the vastness and complexity of our universe. Courtesy: Science Photo Library
