Explanation: How's the weather on Neptune? Tracking major weather patterns on the Solar System's outermost gas giant can help in the understanding of global weather patterns here on Earth. Each summer for the past five years, Neptune has been imaged and major weather patterns studied. The latest picture, taken on September 15, is shown above in false color. Visible in pink near Neptune's lower right is a new storm dubbed Anabelle that is several times larger than her terrestrial sister Isabelle, a concurrent storm system that occurred here on Earth. Although Isabelle lasted a few weeks, no one knows how long Anabelle will endure. On the upper right is Neptune's largest moon Triton, an unusual moon that sports volcanoes that spew ice. 收藏了 难得一见 宝石!! 猜是用了AO技术, 清晰度直追HST了 美哉 一对情人?母女?还是父子? :) 上面还能隐约看到海王星的光环啊,很淡的 这张图片值得收藏。
