Planetary scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California, announced that Voyager 2 photographs taken during the August encounter with Neptune had revealed the presence of an active volcano or geyser on Neptune's moon, Triton. The photographs revealed a dark plume nearly 5 miles high and 90 miles in length emanating from the surface of Triton. Triton became only the third object in the solar system known to have active eruptions from its surface.
