Voyager
Images Voyager Took of Neptune. In the summer of 1989, NASA's Voyager 2 became the first spacecraft to observe the planet Neptune, its final planetary target. Passing about 4,950 kilometers (3,000 miles) above Neptune's north pole, Voyager 2 made its closest approach to any planet since leaving Earth 12 years ago. Five hours later, Voyager ...
Voyager
Galleries of Images Voyager Took. The Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft explored Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune before starting their journey toward interstellar space. Here you'll find some of those iconic images, including "The Pale Blue Dot" - famously described by Carl Sagan - and what are still the only up-close images of Uranus and Neptune.
Neptune (Voyager 2)
This Voyager 2 image of Neptune shows a cold and dark wind-whipped world. In 1989, NASA's Voyager 2 became the first and only spacecraft to observe the planet Neptune, passing about 3,000 miles above the planet's north pole.

Voyager 2 Image of Neptune
This picture of Neptune was produced from the last whole planet images taken through the green and orange filters on the Voyager 2 narrow angle camera.
30 Years Ago: Voyager 2 Explores Neptune
Voyager 2 images of several of Neptune's small moons: (left to right) Proteus, Larissa, Despina, and a group photo of Despina, Thalassa, and Naiad. On Aug. 25, passing about 3,408 miles above Neptune's north pole, Voyager 2 made its closest approach to any planet since leaving Earth in 1977. This close encounter trajectory allowed Voyager 2 ...
When Neptune got its stunning close-up: The Voyager 2 flyby, 30 years
Thirty years ago, NASA's Voyager 2 mission flew by Neptune, capturing the first close-up images of the blue gas giant. Before this, the eighth planet in our solar system was only known as a ...
Image: 25 years ago, Voyager 2 captured images of Neptune
NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft gave humanity its first glimpse of Neptune and its moon Triton in the summer of 1989. This picture of Neptune was produced from the last whole planet images taken ...
Voyager 2
Voyager 2 is a space probe launched by NASA on August 20, 1977, as a part of the Voyager program. It was launched on a trajectory toward the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn and enabled further encounters with the ice giants Uranus and Neptune.
New Images Reveal The Surprising Truth About What Neptune Really Looks
A fresh analysis of some old images has revealed that we've been wrong about Neptune this whole time. For decades, since Voyager 2 flew past Neptune and Uranus taking up-close portraits on the way, scientists have wondered why the two planets - extremely similar in most ways - were such noticeably different colors.

Original caption released with image: Voyager 2 Narrow Angle Camera image of Neptune taken on August 20, 1989 as the spacecraft approached the planet for a flyby on August 25. The Great Dark Spot, flanked by cirrus clouds, is at center. A smaller dark storm, Dark Spot Jr., is rotating into view at bottom left.
New images reveal what Neptune and Uranus really look like
Voyager 2/ISS images of Uranus and Neptune released shortly after the Voyager 2 flybys in 1986 and 1989, respectively, compared with a reprocessing of the individual filter images in this study to ...
Voyager 2 Enters Final Planetary Encounter
Voyager mission controllers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., will now be tracking the spacecraft around the clock as Voyager begins taking systematic images of Neptune and sending back about 50 pictures day.
Mystery of Neptune dark spot solved. New white spot found
The most famous Neptune dark spot was spotted by the Voyager 2 spacecraft, ... captured these images of a storm on Neptune. They show different wavelengths of light: 551 nanometers (blue), 831 nm ...
A Parting Shot of Neptune From Voyager 2
This false color photograph of Neptune was made from Voyager 2 images taken in January 1996. The image reveals the presence of a ubiquitous haze that covers Neptune in a semitransparent layer. Near the center of the disk, sunlight passes through the haze and deeper into the atmosphere, where some wavelengths are absorbed by methane gas.
New images reveal what Neptune and Uranus really look like
Early images of Neptune from Voyager 2 were strongly contrast enhanced to better reveal the clouds, bands, and winds that shape what we have come to think the planet looks like, scientists say.
After crisis in interstellar space, stream of Voyager 1 data resumes
The Voyagers launched in 1977 and sent back the first detailed images beyond Mars, capturing Jupiter's Great Red Spot, the startling sight of volcanoes on the jovian moon Io, and the cerulean storms in Neptune's atmosphere.
