NEPTUNE
Neptune's blue-green atmosphere is shown in great detail in this Voyager 2 spacecraft image (click to enlarge), from a distance of about l6 million kilometers. The Earth-size Great Dark Spot (GDS) is seen at the center and the bright, "cirrus-type" clouds near the GDS are higher in altitude than the dark material of unknown origin which defines its boundaries.
