A wide-angle view of Neptune from JWST shows the planet and its rings against a background of hundreds of distant galaxies. The bright “star” is actually Neptune’s largest moon Triton, which ...

An enhanced view of Neptune's largest moon, Triton. Sometimes, astronomy is like a forensic investigation: We can't just rerun the past, so we have to study clues to figure out what happened.

For the first time in history, we now have real, high-resolution images of Neptune that go beyond artist impressions and telescope visuals. Captured by advanced space telescopes and spacecraft, these ...

Triton, Neptune’s largest moon, is one of the “coolest” objects in the solar system, literally, with a surface temperature of minus 235 degrees Celsius (minus 391 degrees Fahrenheit).

Rather, this is Neptune’s large and unusual moon, Triton. Covered in a frozen sheen of condensed nitrogen, Triton reflects an average of 70 percent of the sunlight that hits it.

Triton isn’t just any moon – it’s one of the most mysterious objects in the entire solar system. In this video, we explore what makes Neptune’s largest moon so strange, from its backward ...

Last week, a new James Webb Space Telescope image illuminated Neptune in a never-before-seen light. In the shot, Neptune appears as a glowing orb with its rings fully visible, and its moon Triton ...

The bottom frame is a twice-magnified view that more clearly shows the detection of Triton, Neptune’s largest moon. Neptune is the brightest object in the field and is saturated (on purpose) in ...

Triton is a top astrobiology target and may have an ocean Perhaps the most compelling reason to visit Neptune is to closely study its geologically active moon Triton. It’s a dark and shivering ...

This color photo of Neptune's largest moon Triton was obtained by NASA's Voyager 2 probe on Aug. 24, 1989, from 330,000 miles away.

Rather, this is Neptune's large and unusual moon, Triton. Covered in a frozen sheen of condensed nitrogen, Triton reflects an average of 70 percent of the sunlight that hits it.
