Description

The geysers observed by Voyager 2 actually take the form of columns of gas which rise vertically for several kilometres and are then sheared off by high-altitude winds. Here, one is erupting inside a valley, while another is just beyind the horizon. The outfall of dark material against the thin haze on Triton is slightly exaggerated. (Digital, from Futures.)
