Neptune’s Moon Triton

Neptune’s Moon Triton
Triton is largest of Neptune’s moons and the seventh known moon from the planet. Its surface reveals relatively few craters, but is crisscrossed by ridges and valleys. Triton’s surface is probably shaped by the freezing and thawing of nitrogen and methane ice.
