Extra Life | Change Kids' Health, Change the Future I'm raising funds with #EXTRALIFE for kids treated at my Children's Miracle Network Hospitals! I need your help to reach my fundraising goal. Please donate today to change kids' health.

Only a couple days away from my 24 hour stream for @extralife4kids.bsky.social
Iโ€™m spending this week modding some retro consoles to play some old school games and setting up some friends to join remotely. Plus making sure the cat cam works. Donate and share pls! www.extra-life.org/participants...

Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon), photographed by Chuck Ayoub on 30 October 2025.

The comet made its closest approach to Earth (90 million km) on October 2025.

Voyager 2 Data Revisited
This image is made from data acquired during Voyager 2's closest approach to Neptune  on August 25, 1989. Visible is the backlit planet viewed from Voyager 2 on its way out of the Solar System after the spacecraft had passed closest approach. The crescent shape of Neptune shows bright cirrus clouds and a dark band encircling the South Pole region, as well as a cyclonic structure at the pole itself, perhaps similar in nature to Saturn's now famous hexagon. Encircling the planet is the very faint ring system and the three bright ring arcs in the Adams ring; Libertรฉ, ร‰galitรฉ and Fraternitรฉ, which were discovered by Voyager 2 during the fly-by.
 
To my knowledge a comprehensive high resolution image of the entire Neptunian system has never been released. However, image data for both the planet itself as well as the ring system and the largest moon Triton, taken within fairly short intervals from similar vantage points, do exist in NASA image archives.
  
To produce the image I scoured the Voyager 2 image data freely available from NASA's Planetary Data System.
I was able to find raw images of a crescent Neptune showing intriguing cloud bands around the South Pole.
No complete image of the ring system exist, but based on available long exposure images of portions of the rings I was able to create a model of the density profile. I then fitted this model around the crescent planet to get a complete view, in accordance with the viewing angle as seen in the...

This is a true color view of Saturn and its moon Titan. Titan is seen here hovering near Saturn's rings.

This composite is made of images that were taken by Cassini's camera system, the Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) on May 6, 2012 and received on Earth May 7, 2012. The camera was pointing toward TITAN at approximately 770,000 kilometers away, and the images were taken using the red, green, and blue filters.
