Neptune’s Atmosphere
The 1989 Voyager 2 mission produced this false-color image of Neptune showing the different components of Neptune’s atmosphere. The red layer shows scattered sunlight from a haze around the planet, the blue/green indicates methane, and the white areas are high-level clouds that reflect sunlight above the atmosphere.
