Abstract

After dramatic discoveries during its flybys of Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus, Voyager 2 has now sent back breath- taking images of Neptune and its moons. The major discoveries in the Neptunian system include puzzling weather systems, broad sheet of ring material, peculiar offset and tilting of the magnetic dipole field, six new moons, and atmospheric composition and surface features of the biggest moon, Triton.
