Triton  

Definition

  • Triton is by far the largest moon of Neptune and the seventh nearest to the planet. Triton was discovered in 1846 by William Lassell, only a few weeks after the discovery of Neptune itself, and has been visited by only one spacecraft, Voyager 2, in 1989, from which most of what we know about it has come.
