This image was taken by the Voyager 2 spacecraft August 25, 1989, the only spacecraft to visit the planet Neptune. Majority of the planet, its rings and moon Triton are dimmed by the scene. This was the first opportunity for the rings of Neptune to be imaged by Voyager 2. The background field of stars centers on the constellation Camelopardalis correlating to the Voyager's view of Neptune and its planetary system.
