Mosaic of Triton
This global color mosaic of Triton was taken by Voyager 2 in 1989. Like Earth, Triton is thought to have a nitrogen-rich atmosphere, and it is the only satellite in the solar system that has a nitrogen ice surface. The blue-green band across Triton is thought to be nitrogen frost, while the pink is thought to be methane ice.
