Neptune is shown with prominent atmospheric banding and complex, swirling white cloud formations, likely representing high-altitude methane ice clouds. Triton appears in the lower left as a rocky, cratered body with a mottled surface, reflecting the scientific understanding of its composition prior to the detailed close-ups provided by the Voyager 2 flyby. acrylic and gouache on illustration board.](193-neptune-triton-orbital-view-dixon.jpg)
