Summary

Description

English: Uploader's notes: The original NASA/Cowart PNG image has been modified by flattening (combining layers), cropping and converting to JPEG format.

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. Additionally, a patch of white cirrus clouds to its north, named " Scooter " for its rapid motion relative to other features, is visible.

This image was constructed using orange, green and synthetic violet (50/50 blend of green filter and UV filter images) taken between 626 and 643 UT.
