HST Observes Triton and Neptune Target Name:   Neptune, Triton Spacecraft:   Hubble Space Telescope Produced by:   Ted Stryk Date Released:  30 January 2001 Related Document Triton Download Options Name Type Width x Height Size trinep3.jpg JPEG 1100 x 541 18K trinep3.tif TIFF 1421 x 541 228K This mosaic combines an almost true-color picture of Neptune taken by the Hubble Space Telescope's (HST) Wide Field Planetary Camera (WFPC), with a picture of Triton taken with the HST's Faint Object Camera. Although faint, the image of Triton vaguely shows a brighter equatorial region. The south pole is to the lower left. The picture of Neptune shows a bright cloud feature at the south pole, near the bottom of the image. Bright cloud bands can be seen at 30S and 60S latitude. The northern hemisphere also includes a bright cloud band centered near 30° N latitude. The image Triton From The Hubble Space Telescope shows Triton in more detail.
