Crescent Neptune and Triton

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

In 1989, the Voyager 2 spacecraft looked toward the Sun from the outer Solar System to capture this view of Neptune and its moon Triton in a crescent phase. This elegant image of the ice-giant planet and its largest moon was taken from behind, just after Voyager's closest approach. This perspective is not possible from Earth, as Neptune never shows a crescent phase to us.
