Summary

Description
Deutsch: Dieses Bild zeigt die letzte direkte Ansicht des „Großen Dunklen Flecks“, die Voyager 2 mit der „narrow-angle camera“ gemacht hat. Das Bild wurde 45 Stunden vor der größten Annäherung bei einer Entfernung von 2,8 Millionen km geschossen. Die kleinste Struktur, die gesehen werden kann, ist im Bereich von 50 km. Das Bild zeigt federartige weiße Wolken, die die Grenze der dunklen und hellen blauen Regionen überlagern. Das „Windrädchen“- oder Spiralenstruktur beider, des dunklen Grenzgebietes und der weißen Cirruswolken deuten ein Sturmsystem an, das im Uhrzeigersinn rotiert. Periodische kleinere Muster in der weißen Wolke, wahrscheinlich Wellen, sind kurzlebig und bleiben nicht von einer Rotation Neptuns bis zur nächsten bestehen. Dieses Farbbild wurde durch den klaren und dem grünen Filter der „narrow-angle camera“ zusammengesetzt. Die Voyager Mission wurde vom JPL für das „NASA's Office of Space Science and Applications“ geleitet.
English: This photograph shows the last face-on view of the Great Dark Spot that Voyager will make with the narrow-angle camera. The image was shuttered 45 hours before closest approach at a distance of 2.8 million kilometers (1.7 million miles). The smallest structures that can be seen are of an order of 50 kilometers (31 miles). The image shows feathery white clouds that overlie the boundary of the dark and light blue regions. The pinwheel (spiral) structure of both the dark boundary and the white cirrus suggest a storm system rotating counterclockwise. Periodic small-scale patterns in the white cloud, possibly waves, are short-lived and do not persist from one Neptunian rotation to the next. This color composite was made from the clear and green filters of the narrow-angle camera. The Voyager Mission is conducted by JPL for NASA's Office of Space Science and Applications.
