This specific image, is actually a computer montage of Neptune and Triton. NASA used pictures taken of the surfaces of Triton during the Voyager 2 flyby.

Remarkable detail and montage. I have been finding space desktops off the NASA site for years but never have I seen better space images than here, this evening.

It's more or less real. It's a composite image created from two different NASA images.

Brilliant image, It's great being able to have such a close up image of a planet so far away, well far away in terms of our solar system.

Suddenly, I feel so small and insignificant. And yet, the picture is so detailed... go NASA!

I love this one. The Blue one (Triton?) is gorgeous and its placement in this image makes quite appealing. It’s a wonderful post, thanks.

There are three colours, Ten digits and seven notes, its what we do with them that’s important. Ruth Ross

Neptune is the blue one. Triton is the one in the foreground with Neptune in the background.
