What are the closest images ever taken of the planet Neptune? Although only one spacecraft has ever visited the distant ice giant, Voyager 2, it still managed to capture some stunning images, as it flew by just above its cloud tops. Coming closer than any other spacecraft in history. Revealing what the most distant major planet in the solar system looks like up close and personal. So much of this ice giant is still a mystery. But by using the stunning images captured by Voyager 2, we can peel back the layers of this mysterious world and take a closer look at its fascinating features like never before. So, what did we see?

The money shot was the flyby of its largest moon Triton and the images of ice volcanoes erupting plumes of material five miles into the sky and leaving dark streaks on the surface as it fell back to the moon. It's a big moon, comprising 99.5% of all the matter around Neptune, rings, moons and all, it's near our moon in terms of size. Exciting place, they got great shots of it. I had to do a double-take when you said it arrived there in '89, it seemed much earlier to me, but nope, you're right - when it got there the Eighties were over and Nirvana was about to be a thing. Amazing. Shows the focus we put on Mars and the ISS. ISS was famously hated by Sagan, who said it was not space exploration but "growing tomatoes in orbit." It has consumed over $100 billion just to build and it's about 15% of NASA's annual budget. What was the most famous ISS mission for you? The silence puts that commitment into perspective doesn't it? Anyhoo it was cool to visit Neptune in "Ad Astra." Great scenes.

At that distance you're limited by the amount of data you can actually transmit back. You can take all the pictures you want, but if you don't have enough time or bandwidth to send them all, then what's the point? They probably took as many as they could send back with some redundancy for transmission errors.
