When John Herschel received news of Neptune's discovery, he wrote to Lassell suggesting he search for possible moons. Lassell discovered Triton eight days later. [17] [18] Lassell also claimed for a period [h] to have discovered rings. [19] Although Neptune was later confirmed to have rings, they are so faint and dark that it is not plausible he saw them. A brewer by trade, Lassell spotted Triton with his self-built 61cm (24in) aperture metal mirror reflecting telescope (also known as the "two-foot" reflector). [20] This telescope was donated to the Royal Observatory, Greenwich in the 1880s, but was eventually dismantled. [20]

General purpose point depletion and decay code to calculate isotopic concentrations, decay heat, radiation source terms, and curie levels Triton's revolution around Neptune has become a nearly perfect circle with an eccentricity of almost zero. Viscoelastic damping from tides alone is not thought to be capable of circularizing Triton's orbit in the time since the origin of the system, and gas drag from a prograde debris disc is likely to have played a substantial role. [4] [5] Tidal interactions also cause Triton's orbit, which is already closer to Neptune than the Moon is to Earth, to gradually decay further; predictions are that 3.6billion years from now, Triton will pass within Neptune's Roche limit. [26] This will result in either a collision with Neptune's atmosphere or the breakup of Triton, forming a new ring system similar to that found around Saturn. [26] Capture [ edit ] The Kuiper belt (green), in the Solar System's outskirts, is where Triton is thought to have originated. Before the flyby of Voyager 2, astronomers suspected that Triton might have liquid nitrogen seas and a nitrogen/methane atmosphere with a density as much as 30% that of Earth. Like the famous overestimates of the atmospheric density of Mars, this proved incorrect. As with Mars, a denser atmosphere is postulated for its early history. [72] Triton's western hemisphere consists of a strange series of fissures and depressions known as "cantaloupe terrain" because it resembles the skin of a cantaloupe melon. Although it has few craters, it is thought that this is the oldest terrain on Triton. [68] It probably covers much of Triton's western half.

Due to constant erasure and modification by ongoing geological activity, impact craters on Triton's surface are relatively rare. A census of Triton's craters imaged by Voyager 2 found only 179 that were incontestably of impact origin, compared with 835 observed for Uranus's moon Miranda, which has only three percent of Triton's surface area. [70] The largest crater observed on Triton thought to have been created by an impact is a 27-kilometer-diameter (17mi) feature called Mazomba. [70] [71] Although larger craters have been observed, they are generally thought to be volcanic. [70] Eigenvalue Monte Carlo codes applied in many computational sequences for multigroup and continuous energy neutronics analysis Fixed source Monte Carlo code applied in the MAVRIC sequence for multigroup and continuous energy analysisThe first attempt to measure the diameter of Triton was made by Gerard Kuiper in 1954. He obtained a value of 3,800km. Subsequent measurement attempts arrived at values ranging from 2,500 to 6,000km, or from slightly smaller than the Moon (3,474.2km) to nearly half the diameter of Earth. [73] Data from the approach of Voyager 2 to Neptune on August 25, 1989, led to a more accurate estimate of Triton's diameter (2,706km). [74] All the geysers observed were located between 50° and 57°S, the part of Triton's surface close to the subsolar point. This indicates that solar heating, although very weak at Triton's great distance from the Sun, plays a crucial role. It is thought that the surface of Triton probably consists of a translucent layer of frozen nitrogen overlying a darker substrate, which creates a kind of "solid greenhouse effect". Solar radiation passes through the thin surface ice sheet, slowly heating and vaporizing subsurface nitrogen until enough gas pressure accumulates for it to erupt through the crust. [7] [46] A temperature increase of just 4 K above the ambient surface temperature of 37K could drive eruptions to the heights observed. [59] Although commonly termed "cryovolcanic", this nitrogen plume activity is distinct from Triton's larger-scale cryovolcanic eruptions, as well as volcanic processes on other worlds, which are powered by internal heat. CO 2 geysers on Mars are thought to erupt from its south polar cap each spring in the same way as Triton's geysers.
