Voyager 2's Last Photo: A Farewell from Space
Voyager 2, a spacecraft, took its final picture before going to sleep forever.
It was sent to space to explore planets.
Voyager 2 made an interesting discovery on Neptune's moon, Triton.
Triton is special because it goes around Neptune the wrong way, like it was captured from somewhere else.
Also, Voyager 2 saw geysers, meaning that icy moons can be active.
The spacecraft sent back information about this mysterious moon and helped us learn more about our solar system.
Voyager 2 captured images before ending its mission.
Triton orbits Neptune in the opposite direction.
Triton may have been captured from the Kuiper Belt.
Voyager 2 found geysers of nitrogen on Triton.
Icy moons can exhibit activity.
