Ice Geysers on Triton
This is a computer animation of cryovolcanism of Triton, the largest moon of Neptune. These icy geysers
were observed by the Voyager 2 spacecraft - or rather, the spacecraft photographed
the long stains that these features left on the landscape. It i...

Space Travel Poster – Triton
This illustration is one of a series that I have been working on, borrowing heavily
from the art-deco-style travel posters from the middle of the twentieth century.
This one features Triton, the
largest moon of Neptune, and adve...

Triton Doom
Triton, largest moon of Neptune, is doomed. Its
irregular orbit is taking it inexorably closer to its parent planet. At a time in the
future too distant for humans to comprehend, the moon will have come so close to
Neptune that the gravity of this im...

Blue Ice
Triton, Neptune's largest satellite, orbits at such
a distance that, from its surface, Neptune appears roughly sixteen times the diameter
of our Moon as seen from the Earth. Out here, the Sun is 900 times fainter than we
know it, but still brighter t...

Ice Geyser
When the Voyager 2 probe flew past Neptune (top) in August 1989, it also imaged its
largest moon Triton. The pictures showed that
although Triton's surface is the coldest in the
known Solar System at -240 Celsius (-400 Fahrenheit), it is still volcan...

Charon
Charon is the largest of the known satellites of Pluto, the Solar System's recently
demoted planet. In this image, we see Charon as it might appear from the surface of
Pluto. I imagined the surface to look somewhat like that of Neptune's largest sate...

Pluto Flyover
An animation featuring a flight over the surface of Pluto. I have used colours based
on HST imagery - yellows, dark browns/blacks, greys and whites. Snow may or may not
exist on Pluto, and in any case may not look like in this depiction, but it's fun...
