Triton’s Surface

This enormous mosaic shows the surface of Neptune’s largest moon Triton in exquisite detail. The moon’s surface is the coldest recorded place in the solar system, with temperatures reaching -391 degrees Fahrenheit. The moon is covered mostly in nitrogen ice, though pinkish deposits of methane ice can also be seen.
