Scientists Amazed by What They Saw After NASA’s Voyager 2 Entered Deep Space

The Planet of Neptune

In 1989, Voyager 2 traveled across the solar system and managed to get close to Neptune. While doing this, the spacecraft passed Triton and six other moons that hadn’t been discovered. It also discovered two rings wrapping around Neptune.
