Here are several views of Neptune and Triton obtained by the already then ageing Voyager 2 spacecraft. Despite Voyager 2's age, (was over 12 years since launch) the spacecraft performed magnificently and to this date, these are the best views of Neptune and Triton, and will be for quite some time yet. Neptne orbits our Sun at an average distance of 30.1 times the Sun to Earth distance or 4.515 Billion KM / 2.804 Billion miles, once every 164 years & 281 days. Neptune has a mass of 17 times that of Earth, has a mean diameter of 42,244 KM / 30,580 miles and rotates on it's axis once every 16 hours and 7 minutes. Neptune has a deep atmosphere, consisting of 80% Hydrogen, 18% Helium, 1% Methane (gives Neptune the deep blue colour) and 1% trace gases like Ammonia, Nitrogen, etc. Neptune has an average global density of 1.68 times that of water, ...
